The beginning of your lesson is your chance to grab your students' attention and keep it. Instead of doing the same every day, engage your students in unique ways that will keep them on their toes! In this week's episode, I share 9 warm up activities that will engage your students and hook their attention from the beginning. I also give tips for implementing these activities, specific examples to use with students, and what skills to pair them with. I also share a feel-good way to wrap up your lesson that will celebrate small accomplishments in the Teaching Tip of the Week.
