Your teacher would have expected you to go somewhere else to do your homework, like a friend's house or the library. Even McDonald's. However, if this is unusual for you it won't be a problem. If this is added to countless other times you haven't got it done, then you are making another excuse.

Just be honest about it. If she recognizes that you are telling the truth and that you really couldn't do your work, she'll more than likely give you some more time (if she's not a strict teacher--depends on the teacher). Tell her why the lights went out and why you couldn't do your homework without lights. . . She might ask about flashlights! Just be honest and that's all that you can do. Or you could just wake up early in the morning and get your homework done before school. . . I would have probably asked you why you didn't do it in the morning.

The lights went out literally? What grade are you in?
As a teacher, I can say they probably won't believe you. I've heard everything... and it is true some students try everything. If you have always told the truth in the past, your teacher will believe you. If not.. well.. lesson learned ;)
I would have your parents (if you are in elementary or high school) write you a note about it) that way she can't get you in trouble.

maybe you may think that by telling your teacher the truth she will excuse you,
I find it unexcusable because if you are not lazy in your study, you can use all the available equipments/emergency lamps to compensate for the lack of lights in your place.
The best things is for you to ask an apology for your short coming in studying your lesson, this way your teacher might just accept your reason without reservation.

I agree - I would also ask you about the flashlight or doing it the next morning once the sun was up. Unless there were extenuating circumstances going on, I would be more inclined to give leniency if my student showed that they tried everything they could. Life happens, but you need to do your best to work around it.

I don't think the problem is wheather or not your teacher will believe you or not but rather your homework gettign done. Hence, you should concentrate on getting it done. I recommend that you go to school earlier than usual and do it there.

tell the truth, it's the most you can really do.
