You know how when a cat gets into the litter box and digs a little hole and squats, it then goes very still and gets an intensely concentrated, focused look, staring straight ahead but not seeing what it's looking at?
Sometimes people get that look when you tell them something that makes them think. I've been noticing it recently.

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!

Hehe, if the cat is pooping, it'll squint its eyes and thrust its hips. If I ever see someone like that sitting at a desk, I'm running for cover! ;^)

I used to have a cat that was notorious for getting into all my neighbors' homes and using their cat's litter boxes, even though he had one of his own in my house. One morning, one of my neighbors greeted me with a bag containing his fresh turd in one hand and my cat held up by the scruff of his neck in the other.
I just have to say, thanks for making me laugh because I knew the look you were talking about and pictured my cat doing it.
