World History
As much as I love teaching I occasionally get frustrated by my students' amazing ability to get around our school blocks and get on Facebook, but then when they have to do an assignment, they can't seem to use a search engine for a positive use.

Then I performed my "magic trick" by putting the religions in a Google search and writing "+ comparison chart" and they were unfortunately amazed that they could get all their answers on the Big Religion Chart which has founders, texts, beliefs, origins, practice, symbols and even a link for more information.
