The Best of I Want to Teach Forever: September 2009

The month of September is an exciting, frustrating, difficult and awesome time of the school year. You probably missed out on a lot of things as you buried yourself in your work, including things like keeping up with the feverish pace I've set here at I Want to Teach Forever. With that in mind, here is my best work this month:

• How to Make Feature-Length Films Fit into a Class Period [9/1]
• Creating Skits to Teach Math and Science [9/2]
• Lesson Ideas Using "Practical Money Skills for Life" [9/6]
• What Teachers Can Learn from Billy Mays [9/8]
• Avoiding an Ulcer and Other Health Problems [9/15]
• How to Work Around Paper and Copy Limits [posted at The Lesson Machine on 9/16]
