What is the name given to the group of five large lakes in the northern part of the United States?
I indicate the lakes on a map and ask, “What are those lakes called?”
Students:
Bear Lake?
The Indian Ocean?
Asia!
Sometimes I have my students use individual white boards so they stay engaged in the lesson. Today I noticed one young man sniffing his marker as he walked back to his seat. I dunno…maybe it’ll help.
Did you know I'm part of a club? That's right, a club. The "Say Uncle" Club, to be precise. It's very elite. Only 1/3 of the students in my class made it in. I'm not sure about the nature, or mission of the club, it's all very mysterious. All I know is that the secret phrase is "say uncle." ...woops, I think that was supposed to be a secret.
I'm always entertained when I have to say, "Get your hand out of there."
