		<description><![CDATA[I was touched really, and I thanked them profusely for their generosity.  I was about to bite into one when the other girl added, “we made them because we know you like gingersnaps. We found the recipe on the Internet!”

This caused a pause on my part.  I think I mentioned that I am somewhat of a cookie connoisseur.  I had never encountered a white gingersnap before.  I bit into the edge of the cookie.  It was tasty, yet bland.  It had none of the flavor that you would associated with a gingersnap.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=drumlyteach.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13260437&amp;post=135&amp;subd=drumlyteach&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[February, Teaching Year 14 Sometimes, I write poetry for the students, during the poetry unit.  Occasionally one of those poems ends up being interesting enough to share.  This poem was one that the students asked me to write, explaining whether I thought boys or girls wrote better poetry. Now, I normally steer clear of gender battles.

		<description><![CDATA[Silence pervaded the room, and I looked down.  I had expected pearls of laughter perhaps, maybe chuckles, but complete silence was unusual.  There was a shocked look on the faces of the students that confused me, so I carefully backtracked in my mind what I had said. I find when I am stuck, it is good to repeat what you just said for good measure.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=drumlyteach.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13260437&amp;post=37&amp;subd=drumlyteach&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

And thought number two was, I wonder if I am going to get fired for this lesson.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=drumlyteach.wordpress.com&amp;blog=13260437&amp;post=10&amp;subd=drumlyteach&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
