Totally Unexpected

A few weeks ago I wrote myself a note in the reflection section of my unit planner. It says:
It was interesting to hear more than one student say after we had started learning about the inside of the Earth, that before learning about that, they had thought people are inside rather than on the surface of the Earth.
That is something I have not thought of myself, nor have I heard anyone ever say that before. It sounds like a fantasy book. It is hard for me to imagine what exactly the students thought the Earth was like prior to this unit.

This week I have been planning for my next unit and have been trying to rack my brain for unexpected questions like that.
