@USUzbekistan's Fulbright English Teaching Assistant (ETA) Emma has some #mondaymotivation for you...

This week, try to organize a few LEARNING STATIONS in your classroom!

Make sure your stations...

1. Start with the end goal in mind— what do your students need to know?

2. Separate big tasks into smaller components.

3. Include what the learners need, i.e., directions, paper, pens, etc.

4. Set an adequate amount of time for your students to complete the project✏️

It's time for Mini-lesson Monday!

This week, try out the game Picture of the Day!

Choose an image and let students have a few minutes to think. Then, let your learners contribute a word or sentence related to or describing the picture.

This week, let this quote be your #mondaymotivation!

"Better than a thousand days of diligent study is one day with a great teacher."

-Japanese Proverb
