Not the day to start a substitute teaching blog

Hello web world. As the SOPA/PIPA protest day, this isn't the best day to decide to start a blog. I've run into multiple blocks, so I'll just blog about my subbing experiences here. I've re-entered the teaching world as an on-call substitute teacher, and it has been fun for the couple of weeks I've tried it. Today I subbed for a science teacher, and it was my first time teaching with no sub plans. It was to be a "movie day", which I would have thought would be much easier than a typical sub job. Not so. I'm beginning to find that throwing in a movie seems to be a bigger hassle than just teaching a lesson. However, I remember those days when it was much easier for me to come in and teach than to write sub plans. The day was much easier when I pulled out other science things and told science stories. The students were more attentive and respectful of one another. All I want to finish with is that I'm glad that I didn't have to pull up any Wikipedia articles for lesson plans today.
