I don't know what your teacher has told you, but erosion was a major factor in the formation of the Grand Canyon.  Water flowing through the area over millions of years did an amazing job.

How can we help you if we know nothing about the teacher?  Would it help you to know why I liked my favorites?  OK:\n\nI had a history teacher in junior high who had us act out little scenarios from history, to make the whole thing seem real.  That was very good.  One of my math teachers used to give use wonderful little math puzzles, including some that were extremely funny, like those based on the works of Lewis Carroll.  My favorite French teacher gave us little gifts for spelling bees, and I won a package of five tiny (sample size) bottles of real French perfume!  My Latin teacher had us reading the "naughty bits" in the old bawdy Latin plays, but that was in college, and we were all very mature.\n\nGenerally, the teachers who put some creativity into the classroom, and who draw creativity out of their students, get the best ratings and teach the most.  But the other thing is the teacher to expects a lot, but plays fair.  My sixth grade teacher gave us lots of homework, and graded exams very uncompromisingly.  But she always answered the questions we had, and never played favorites.  She just imperiously assumed we all had the ability to learn, and would not accept laziness.  The lazy students hated her, but the ones who wanted to learn, learned a lot.  She was also very systematic, did the same pattern of exercises every day, so we always knew what to expect.  We had ten questions on the blackboard to write down in our notebook to answer in history and social studies; we had 20 vocabulary words in spelling, ten sentences to diagram in English . . . does anybody diagram sentences anymore?  Sometimes a very old-fashioned teacher is the one from whom you learn the most.  (Not "the one you learn the most from," because a preposition is a bad thing to end a sentence with!)

I was watching the History Channel one day and they were doing a show about Poe.  I recall that they said he did some children’s stories that were not very well know.  \n\nThis is a great link if you’re a Poe fan.  \n\nEnjoy!\n\nhttp://www.pambytes.com/poe/poe.html

So, sounds like teacher wants a recipe for a "fun Halloween" that appeals to all the senses .... so, sight (maybe scary decorations), sound (maybe scary noises), taste (sweet candy?), smell (the burning candle in the jack'o'lanterns, maybe), feel (maybe something like that silly game where you put your hand in a bowl of peeled grapes and someone tells you they are eyeballs!)\n\nI think what the teacher is looking for is just a "recipe" of different Halloween-y type things that you might assemble for a fun Halloween party, and describe different things at your party and how they would appeal to each sense.

get your hands on "The Geranium on the Windowsill Just Died But Teacher You Went Right On." It's out of print, so a library might be the best place. it will blow your mind. it's so good.

Hmmm ... I guess if this were true, it's pretty weird.  I'm a little doubtful that you are a teacher though, your grammar and spelling are atrocious.

I had an amazing english teacher who taught us Shakespeare.  He would make us read all the 'little parts' while he did the 'big parts' with this fantastic accent he made up depending on the role.  He really 'owned' the material and knew stories very well that he made a lasting impression on me and to this day I love Shakepeare.\n\nI think, though, that all the teachers who made lasting impressions on me had one thing in common - they all passionately loved the material they taugt, from history to math to english or art.  It was their love for the material that influenced me to learn more about it.  That kind of excitement for something is catchy.

The baby dragon in a jar turned out to be a double hoax.\n\nThe original story, reported in several papers a few years ago, was that the dragon was uncovered in a British garage.  The story was that it had been discovered by German scientists in the 1890s and sent to the British Natural History Museum for examination.  The Museum, suspecting a hoax, ordered the specimen destroyed, but the janitor who was supposed to dispose of the specimen intervened and took it home instead.\n\nThe dragon is incredibly detailed, and realistic looking.  It even has the threads of an umbilical cord (which reptiles don't have).\n\nThe reason it's so detailed is that it was actually created quite recently, by Crawley Creatures, the model makers behind BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs television series.  It was commisioned by author Allistair Mitchell (who writes under the pen name P.R. Moredun) as an elaborate means of creating interest in his novel (which at the time had been repeatedly rejected by publishers).\n\nHis book, 'Unearthly History' is a 'thriller for adults and children', and surprisingly enough, features a dragon.\n\nSo it was all a big publicity stunt.  And a fairly successful one too, since it is now being published by Waterstone.

This is a great story that says it all...The Velveteen Rabbit.\nTHERE was once a velveteen rabbit, and in the beginning he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a rabbit should be; his coat was spotted brown and white, he had real thread whiskers, and his ears were lined with pink sateen. On Christmas morning, when he sat wedged in the top of the Boy's stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming. \n\nThere were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all. For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then Aunts and Uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten. \n\nFor a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him. He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him. The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon every one else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real. The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint, caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms. The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn't know that real rabbits existed; Between them all the poor little Rabbit was made to feel himself very insignificant and commonplace, and the only person who was kind to him at all was the Skin Horse. \n\nThe Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others. He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces. He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys, and would never turn into anything else. For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it. \n\n"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day,  "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?" \n\n"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When someone loves you for a long, long time, REALLY loves you, then you become Real." \n\n"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit. \n\n"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt." \n\n"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?" \n\n"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." \n\nIf it is real love..........it does not matter!

I think just some basic stories.  Many children's books are entirely in the simple present tense.  Try baby books or easy readers.  Hilight the verbs and demonstrate in class.  Have you heard of Total Physical Response Storytelling?  It's a fantastic way to teach languages.\n\nDon't listen to the jerks who answered this question.  I am a teacher and know where you're coming from.  I can't believe some people act like such idiots!  Hey, tarotpete, check your example sentence.  You need to remove the "a" for it to make sense!  LMAO!   Nice!  And bo_hic_a, if you think teachers are overpaid, why don't you try it?  We'll see if you last five minutes in front of a classroom full of teenagers!\n\nGood luck!

I'm not a teacher but I've got a few as a student.  Once, when I was in 7th grade, my english teacher Mrs. Salisbury (If you see this email me!! haha) Was teaching us about Huckelberry Finn.  And after reading I think it was the section where he tricks the other kids in to paying him to let them whitewash the fence, she stood up in front of the class (And mind you, she was a very prim and proper woman.) and says "Alrignt, now how did F*ck Hinn ...." and naturally stopped there as the entire class went into hysterics.  I don't think we got much accomplished after that for the rest of the day lol\n-Duo
