3. Use a Powerful Tool, Your Voice!
• Be expressive!
• Be animated!
• Whisper as if you were sharing a secret
• Raise and lower your pitch
“Your voice can not only convey feelings and emotions, it
also keeps your students attention”
4. Be Organized
• Move from one activity to the next
seamlessly
• Day’s materials beforehand on your desk
or in a box
5. Surprise Them!
• Unexpected twists
1. Make them stand up
2. Move them so they can pair with
someone they usually don’t interact with
6. Move Around the Classroom
• Walk around the classroom to the back and to
the front
• Around your students’ desks
• While you speak, while you ask questions and
while you listen to them
7. Give it a Structure
• Review last class and introduce the goals for
this class.
• Activities to meet the day’s goal
• Activity that will confirm the goal
“Like any good story, a lesson has to have a beginning, a
middle and an end”
