Sub•fus•cous

adj slightly dark, dusky, or somber, unclear.  When a sub arrives in a classroom to serve students for the day he or she doesn’t need “easy”.  We don't need a “movie” or plans typed on stationary. Plans need not be written in complete sentences (perish the thought!). Correct grammar or spelling is optional.   We don’t need “simple” or clean (I do appreciate that one).  We arrive ready to work, but what we need above all else from a teacher we’re subbing for is CLARITY.  Be clear.  What do you want students to know? What do you want them to do?  How do you want them to do it?  Period.
