Hey Lorax, Kudos on taking the plunge. I suspect you'll be a great teacher because you want to be. The best thing I saw a professor do was in a beginning programming class. He was actually just a Graduate Assistant but that's beside the point. He asked us to write directions on how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich explaining every detail as if the person making it had no prior knowledge base. Then he brought in the bread, penut butter, jelly, and a knife, chose a few examples and proceeded to make a mess. I don't think we actually learned that much (important lesson about programming but fairly easy to grasp) but it set the tone for the class.
My step-father is a biology teacher at a community college and frequently brought the students home to make pancakes or bread and discuss the properties of yeast. He always got good reviews for that.
BTW - I like your drawing. at first glance I thought "Hey, that looks kind of Van Gough-ish". I guess you achieved your goal.
