I definitely relate to going to the trouble for steps then forgetting, in the excitement, to do them. What I see that you did, that I "forgot" was more purposefully engaging them in conversation about what was coming. When I introduced the idea of feedback instead of grades - first day - I did most of the talking, a habit I HAVE to break. I invited comment, but when I got little but nodding, I continued. Thanks you for the reminder that I have to be intentional in getting them to engage in the conversation. For the record, I had much better luck in a lesson a few days later.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444819414306879640noreply@blogger.com
