Since I get on average a whopping THIRTEEN people a day average coming by this blog in the hope that I tell them how to write an ode (I know, weird – I think I owe it to Crampon’s Nads if you recall), I’ve decided to take the bull by the horns and provide some links for you lovely surfing teachers:

Don’t forget: I used to be a teacher myself, teaching English Language and Literature to nartive speakers (including creative writing) and also English as a Foreign Language, so I’m always interested in what teachers out there have to say. If you have any questions or tips for other teachers, let us know – email me on bang2write”at”aol”dot”com.

Thanks!
