How to Make a Gift for Your English Teacher

With a little bit of imagination and a few craft supplies, you can make a unique and useful gift for your teacher.

Things You'll Need

• Butcher Papers
• Children's Dictionaries
• Journals
• Planning Calendars
• Glues
• Leftover Wallpaper
• Masking Tape
• Wall Calendars
• Felt-tip Pens
• Index Cards
• Notebooks

Instructions

1. Look in your textbook for gift ideas. You can make bulletin boards, puzzles or lessons to match parts of your textbook.

2. Make up a funny lesson using parts of English or punctuation. A funny fill-in-the-blank story is a good way to use an English lesson.

3. Design word-search puzzles using your spelling words. One puzzle for each month would make a nice break for the class and your teacher.

4. Design a word-search puzzle the size of the classroom door. Use a hundred words so it will last a long time. The students can search for words between classes.

5. Cover an inexpensive desk calendar with fabric or scrap wallpaper (see "How to Make a Personal Desk Calendar," under Related eHows).

6. Make a lesson plan book (see "How to Make a Lesson Plan Book for Your Teacher," under Related eHows).

7. Write a story using the name of every person in your class for the characters. Do this as a group and let everyone write a little bit of the story.

Tips & Warnings

• Using good grammar and punctuation would probably tickle your English teacher more than anything else.
