Are you a tired teacher at the end of the day? Do you wonder how to get students to do more of the learning so that you can catch a breath and avoid teacher burnout?
I remember my days as a French teacher when I had nothing left to give at the end of the day. I was all talked out! I needed a nap after school just to cope! There had to be a better way to survive the teaching day. Before the days when services like Teachers Pay Teachers where I could grab French teaching worksheets, I needed a way to get my French students to do more of the active learning so that I could at least grab some water!
A little-known fact about me: I used to intentionally dehydrate myself just to keep teaching! That is one reason why I transitioned to teaching online!
Lucky for me, I had French teacher friends who had some great ideas up their sleeves. My goal for 2022 is to support teachers with French lesson plans and teaching strategies to make their lives easier. So, here you go!
This Teaching video shows how to easily do a "Find Someone" activity with little or no prep!
Teaching Beginner French students? The "Find Someone" activity can be done on French introductions, French school subjects, or with any topic in YOUR subject area!
Here are ideas for teachers other than French!
Social Studies Teachers: Important dates!
Science Teachers: Key terms in a unit!
English Teachers: Quotes and who said them!
Use your imagination for this activity but remember to be easy on yourself and make the students do the work!
Be on the lookout for more no-prep teacher activities coming your way!
