Mix It Up

Routines tend to be something that we fall in to pretty easily. We do something one day and think that we have to use it over and over again. For example, for science we could show a video and it is a big success. Then we think we always have to show a video, but that's not true. Just because it worked once doesn't mean you use it every time. Mix it up! Try something new and different. If you do the same thing everyday you will lose the attention of the students. Keep the class interesting and introduce new activities and ideas. If you're not creative and engaging in your teaching, then why should your students be in their work?
