11. Application of Class Yes! Use this technique when you quickly want to gain the attention of your class. For maximum effect, occasionally vary your voice.

13. The Whole Brain Activator: Teach-Okay Speak briefly and then ask students to paraphrase, with meaningful gestures, what you’ve said with a partner. Move around the classroom to monitor your students’ comprehension.

14. SWITCH  This is an extension of Teach-OK  The students are split into two teams.  Team 1 teaches Team 2 the lesson with big gestures and excited voices.  Team 2 encourages with listening gestures.  Teacher yells “Switch” and Teams switch roles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-wFyyrZlCc&feature=related

15. THE SCOREBOARD  Used as a classroom management tool.  When students do something great, I will make a smiley face on board. Students will cheer when the class earns a smiley face.  When students do something negative, I will make a sad face on the board. Students will groan when the class earns a sad face.  At the end of the day the points are tallied.  Gold star will be given for more smiles than frowns.  A silver star is earned for an equal number of smiles and frowns.  No star will be given if there are more frowns than smiles.  Teacher chooses rewards for earning stars.

16. CLASS PROJECT  Classes will work together to make their own glogster about what they have learned with Whole Brain Teaching Techniques.  http://trudi38.glogster.com/whole- brain-teaching/ http://trudi38.glogster.com/whole- brain-teaching/
