VileFile introduced me to a quiz to test how normal I am. I scored 55% ('Somewhat normal'). However, I had to cheat to get this score, because some of the questions have no right answers. Take number 3, for example:
3. How do you button your shirt?
Two choices are given:
From bottom up
From top down
How are you supposed to answer that when you button your shirt from the middle, like a normal person?

Links for language teachers
I have noticed that I get a lot of hits from people searching "present simple" and "ESL," and assume that this is language teachers looking for ideas or lesson plans. The following links are good places to start.
ESL Lounge Here you will find lesson plans organised by level. A fantastically useful site for busy teachers, and easy to navigate.
British Council Here lesson plans are organized by topic. There are more teaching activities in the 'downloads' section.
The Internet TESL Journal
They have not updated this page for a while, but there is still a lot you might find useful.
Humanising Language Teaching
This is an online journal, good for ideas, inspiration, and especially good towards the end of semester when you're feeling not quite human.
Dave's ESL Cafe
Almost too much to wade through, but a very useful resource. Lots of links to other sources.
Karin's ESL PartyLand
This is a page specifically dealing with teaching simple present and present progressive. I have not tried any of these, but there are a lot of ideas here, and they look good. At the very least you will be inspired.
Good luck!

I got a frightening 70%. Stepford here I come.
Butter-side up or butter-side down? ;-)
How true, how true.
Peace
lol, I button from the middle down, then up, as necessary....
Gain 150 pounds or be run over by a truck? HOW run over? A little or a lot?
SheWeevil: NOBODY gets 70%. 70% means that you are DOWNRIGHT WEIRD.
Paula: Down, usually. But I follow the 5 second rule. :-)
Kim: Don't button TOO far up, all right? You will disappoint your fans.
Melinama: EXACTLY. I have been run over by a truck, and the thing I hated most about it was the after-effects on my health and the boringly long time it took to recover. I have never gained 150 pounds. Maybe the after-effects on my health would be WORSE than the truck thing. Maybe it would take LONGER to recover (i.e. to lose the weight again). How am I supposed to know? What if it was a LITTLE truck accident, just a few bruises or one simple fracture?
Stupid questions.
I button any which way - depending on how frustrated I am with having to deal with buttons at that point in time.
45%. Damn, I was hoping to be a bit more abnormal.
