The Absent-minded English Teacher

This morning I rushed out of the house to get to the Saturday morning movie class that I teach. I was so proud to get there with enough time to make the copies I needed and unlock the room door before the students started rioting in the hall. The bell rang and I was happily zooming along until the time came to get the movie going and I realized the DVD was NOT IN MY BAG.

I left it at home. I had planned a freaking TWO HOUR class based around this movie. I suddenly had a lot of time to fill. Mild moment of panic.

Luckily, I had a back-up movie in my bag. I just didn't have any worksheets or support material to go with it. The kids just got to sit back and watch it. Sigh. Not my best class.
