Editing Out Myself

I'm using most parts of a test on adjective (relative) clauses I created last semester--but not the creative part!




Fill in the missing relative pronouns in the following poem.    The first has been done for you.

These are the SLOs we dream about
In dreams where the  learning of students turns out
To be in the room ____________ we sit three days,
Days ________ we study and learn some new ways
To succeed with the teacher ________ class we are in,
__________ teaches us poems about what might have been
And teaches the students _____________ study the best,
____________ do all our homework and pass every test
And all love the college ____________we all attend,
It’s the place __________ we study (at least we pretend).
It’s called City College.

I'm afraid that my tendency to deviate from a tried-and-true path is more confusing than enjoyable or elucidating.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
