I rarely do. I read aloud in class, and once in a long while I ask them to finish a chapter at home. I'd like them to read on their own, but so...
I think I'l watch it ahead of time, and pick out parts that work for my lesson. We have no guidelines here, it's entirely up to the classroom...
Have any of you used this film in your lessons on foreshadowing, symbolism, irony, etc? It's been years since I saw the movie. Was it...
Your schedule does not seem that much different than most, in my experience. Here is my day: 85 minute block: English 10 10 minute break...
If I were forced to sit still, I would never learn anything. I manage to not disturb people around me, and students can learn the same thing.
Essay marking with feedback can take forever! I explain to my students that if they want me to rush, I can do it quickly. If they want me to...
The key thing with Shakespeare is to make it fun, interesting, and not daunting. Students go into it with a negative mind, and that keeps them...
If it is disrupting the class, I ask if she'd like to step out. If she's just sitting quietly, I casually hand over tissue while I'm walking...
Peregrin, you are right on the money...I can say I will be responsible, but I can't promise my friends are! I do not use names if I need to talk...

My admin will not mention it to me unless it's more than one parent, or seems to be a serious issue. They also will tell parents to talk to me...
Lock and shut the door. The student is looking for a reaction from you, and it sounds like they are getting one.
We don't have snow days. Ever. It's the Yukon, if we cancelled school for bad weather we'd never go! Some days, like last week when the wind...
I teach high school. The consequences are pretty clear...if you don't do the work, you don't get the mark. You don't get the marks, you don't...
If someone is not doing their job, the admin deals with it. Again, not your business. Your job is to DO your job, not worry about other people....
Same rule as the students have when "telling-on" a friend: 1. Are you in danger? 2. Is anyone else in danger? If the answer is no, then it is...
I would love to have a sub "watch closely". It's much better than doing nothing. Tell the girls if they want to complain, you are the WRONG...
