#2: Brain Teasers:
- math teachers bad at spelling
- thoughts all over the place
- did well on math sats
- coach sports teams since they know mathematics
- can solve rubix cubes
- math teachers are like einstein
- have messy handwriting
- do arithmetic incorrectly in equations

My math teacher last year spelled words incorrectly constantly. Many of my teachers had a hard time explaining a process and a much easier time doing the equation itself. Some were scatterbrained in their teaching methods and jumped from one thing to another. Teachers will even admit to having messy handwriting because they did far better in math than english during school. Math teachers sometimes struggle with other areas due to their great ability in their field.

#3: Brain Teaser: Human Hand
- Hands meant to hold
- Palms get sweaty
- Lots of bones
- Piercings/tattoos/rings
- Thumbs important for grabbing
- Hands used for the sense of touch

The human hand has many bones in it that could easily break. Thumbs are vitally important for humans because we can lift things easier with them. Many women decorate their hands with nail polish, rings, and sometimes piercings/tattoos. After holding hands for a while, palms become sweaty. The human hand is an essential part of our life that we appreciate and care for.

Practice 5.5: Single fathers or single mothers, Brain Teaser:
- Low income
- Depends on how many children they have
- Neglect children
- Alcohol/drug abuse
- Age of child, child's maturity

Single fathers or single mothers. Narrower topics for this include: alcoholics, employed, unemployed singles, multiple children, and drug abuse. After researching these topics, my thesis statement may turn out to be something like: "Unemployed single parents have a harder time supporting their children and are more likely to neglect them."

#1: A book you've read could be about a book you liked or disliked. It could be something you learned from or were absolutely bored with. It could be a book you read at your own leisure or something you had to read for school. That's where high school versus college loops into this topic. Perhaps books you read in high school were an easier read than those in college. Maybe they are the same. Everyone has had different experiences.

Oh, I can do number one!
1: Favorite television program - Psych.
- Mainly comedy, opposing view might want more drama.
- Not actual CSI-esque information, more for entertainment than solving cases
- It is NOT like the Mentalist! It even alludes to this in the show. It came first and the Mentalist is a suave dude whereas Psych is just hilarious!
- Reasons people might like it: California=beautiful set, James Roday (Lead) is gorgeous, Guss is a pharmaseutical representative but helps with Psych on the side which people can relate to, Lassiter is uptight, Finding the Pineapple
- Bug List=Commercials, Shawn's romantic history
- Psych is like my daily vitamin because I need a little humor each day.
- I watch this show with my parents. We all enjoy it!

Psych is my favorite TV show because it depicts daily life in a humorous way while adding mystery to it. The main character, Shawn Spencer, pretends to be a psychic when in reality, he just notices intricate details of crime scenes. He has a father, best friend, and some interesting co-workers. Most can relate to his relationships because although humorous, they have some truth to them. A pineapple is present in every episode and the viewer becomes more involved with the show searching for it. The mystery of the show entails a case that Shawn solves at the end of each episode by his own findings and the help of others.
