Tips on using activities and gadgets
(Of course, this depends on your students’ age.)
• Be serious. Give the students a sense of purpose.
• Build accountability into your activity.
• Explain what you’re going to do and why.
• Give simple, clear instructions step by step.
• Explain your expectations for behavior. Make them
stick.
• During the activity, walk around the room and
monitor students’ work. Nip problems in the bud.
• Don’t overdo the “fun stuff.”
• You are the teacher.
Beast:
Belle, are you happy here with me?
Belle:
Yes.
Beast:
What is it?
Belle:
If only I could see my father again, just for a moment. I miss him
so much!
Beast:
There is a way. This mirror will show you anything--anything you
wish to see.
Belle:
I’d like to see my father, please. Papa! Oh, no! He’s sick. He may
be dying, and he’s all alone.
Beast:
Then, you, you must go to him.
Belle:
What did you say?
Beast:
I release you. You’re no longer my prisoner.
Belle:
You mean I’m free?
Beast:
Yes.
Belle:
Oh, thank you! Hold on, Papa. I’m on my way.
Beast:
Take it with you so you’ll always have a way to look back and
remember me.
Belle:
Thank you for understanding how much he needs me.
