The forged excuse notes made a large pile,with writing that ranged from imaginative to writers of these notes didn't realize that honest excuse notes were usually dull:“Peter was late because the alarm clock didn't go off.”
Isn't it remarkable,I thought,how the students complained and said it was hard putting 200 words together on any subjects?But when they produced excuse notes,they were brilliant.
So one day I typed out a dozen excuse notes and gave them to my classes. I said,“They're supposed to be written by parents but actually they are y?”The students looked at me nervously.
“Now,this will be the first class to study the art of the excuse note—the first class,ever,to practice writing 're so lucky to have a teacher like me who has taken your best writing and turned it into a subject worthy of study.”
Everyone smiled as I went on.“You used your imaginations. So try more y I'd like you to write ‘An Excuse Note from Adam to God’ or ‘An Excuse Note from Eve to God’.”Heads went raced across the first time ever I saw students so careful in their writing that they had to be asked to go to lunch by their friends.
The next day everyone had excuse ed discussions headmaster entered the classroom and walked up and down looking at papers,and then said,“I'd like you to see me in my office.”
When I stepped into his office,he came to shake my hand and said,“I just want to tell you that that lesson,that task whatever the hell you were doing,was e kids were writing on the college k you.”
