10:15 is bedtime? I just get going at 10:30, don't hit the sheets until 12:00-ish. So much for an old man.
It's 10:30 plus I don't have a husband so I'm getting my beauty sleep early

Pointless. Priceless.

Have to teach the middle school famous English poetry tomorrow. I've already ruled out William Shakespeare and Robbie Burns for English that will confuse them. Forget teaching them Chaucer as well. Don't think they'll understand Jabberwocky either, I can't understand that one.
Any suggestions for things that are quite simple?

Actually, for all it's silliness, that's confusing too.
How about Frost?
How about Frost?
Ted Geisel wasn't English. He was from California ... I thought Shel Silverstien, too, but he's from Chicago. Jack Kerouac was from Massachusetts. Maybe there aren't any decent English poets after all.
From San Francisco...
Dr Seuss is almost unknown in China.
Frost could work I think. Basically I have to teach them some famous English poems, for speaking practise.
That's what I was mainly thinking of. I'm also using Remembrence by Emily Bronte.
I don't know how often they'll get the opportunity to speak all the "thee's" and "thou's" in Bronte, never mind "rapturous" or "divinest".
You could always teach them about the guy from Nantucket

LOL, I went there last summer and they sell T-Shirts that say "I'm the man from Nantucket" :rofl:
I spent a few childhood summers there (my dad was friends with a guy who owned a boat) but I never learned the limerick until I was older.
Growing up here its learned as a 4th grade requirement.
Think they can manage thee and thou and thy.
I know one that would confuse them though...
We twa hae run about the braes,
And pu'd the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary fit
Sin' auld lang syne.
That's why I thought Burns was a bad idea.

No don't wish to suddenly find my employment terminated..not a good idea. LOL
He was Scottish, anyway. I suppose to your students, English, Scottish, San Francisco it's all English.

They probably know that one already anyway.
Might just get them to recite the iTunes EULA, that'll keep them occupied for a few days.
