angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:06:44 @MConca16 Hi Maria! Welcome #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:07:40 We seem to be a small select group ??? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:08:15 Hello - sorry booking flights for aggravated assessors :-) #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:08:35 @GlenysHanson I think some people may be in hiding! #ELTchat or licking their wounds
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:09:06 When it's connected to students' lives #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:09:27 what are the components of a memorable lesson for you? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:09:32 @teachingright How do you mean that? #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:09:54 I tend to remember lessons that went terribly wrong. I learn from them not the others. #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:09:58 What do  you mean - can u elaborate a bit? What did Ss do away and what in class? #eltchat https://t.co/BbpdxUOfL7
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:10:27 When technology is used in a right way #ELTchat
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:10:53 @Marisa_C #ELTChat It was memorable for them because they did all the work and learnt a lot more
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:11:04 RT @SueAnnan: what are the components of a memorable lesson for you? #ELTchat
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:12:06 #ELTChat at times I feel that what is memorable for me isn't for my students POVs
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:12:18 @MConca16 @Marisa_C And you had just one memorable lesson like that? Just joking. ;-) #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:13:08 This is true for me, too #ELTchat https://t.co/BVYuBYBWhS
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:13:12 @angelos_bollas  a lesson is memorable when the topic is related to Ss lives. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:13:34 Sometimes my lessons go off-piste, or off-plan, and they are so student focussed that they just hit the spot #ELTchat
olyaelt 2016-11-09T19:13:46 Lessons when you come up with ideas that later become your staple can be truly memorable. Oddly, for me all such ideas came in 121s #eltchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:13:50 Any of the lessons which my students consider memorable have some common characteristics 1/ they were humorous #ELTchat
studiomentals 2016-11-09T19:14:09 Very often the first lessons are the most memorable. I always approach my lessons as if they were the first ones. #ELTchat

SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:15:07 @studiomentals what is particular about those? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:15:22 @studiomentals i like that notion - do it like the first time every time :-) #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:16:42 When they apply cooperative learning #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:17:02 @Marisa_C Students always love that, don't they? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:17:11 Shall we share some specific examples? #eltchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:17:21 when the class bonds well it helps too #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:17:42 @angelos_bollas I think so - worthy and nice can be totally forgettable #eltchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:19:02 Most coursebooke can do worthy and forgettable quite well - so do share your own great ideas #ELTchat https://t.co/qxP6K7RrO4
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:20:04 When I tried an activity for the first time (it was a collaborative writing task) and actually worked - this I remember #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:20:47 #ELTchat https://t.co/pUpKKTkDMy
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:21:04 My Ss NEVER forget  this- T shows an ordinary object and Ss team up to compete on highest No of unusual uses - teams can challenge #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:21:56 @teachingright exactly  #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:21:57 #ELTchat https://t.co/lzNhrttEBi
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:22:19 I keep a gadget box. Students have to guess what they are for, describe them, imagine what they might be called #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:22:27 My pre-sessional students delivering PKs for their final presentation skills assessment - this was memorable, as well #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:22:48 PKs are great! #ELTchat https://t.co/boVgafheyX
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:22:59 #ELTChat I dressed up once like somebody Sss were going to interview
studiomentals 2016-11-09T19:23:09 The key to keep lessons fresh is to venture together with ss into the unknown. Do not serve them dishes from a microwave oven. #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:24:48 I did a lesson on instructions where the students taught each other how to cook a traditional cake from home. #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:25:06 @Marisa_C PKs ??? This dinosaur doesn't know the acronym. #ELTchat
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:25:22 @studiomentals #ELTChat where the microwave is a coursebook :)
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:25:39 Students never forget a lesson which they were  fully engaged in.#ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:25:47 For a kids class - two/three girls go out and swap as many items of clothing as allowed - come back and class guesses whose clothes #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:25:54 @GlenysHanson @Marisa_C https://t.co/lPaxl7fqnj #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:26:00 @GlenysHanson @Marisa_C  Pecha Kuchas #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:26:54 @GlenysHanson Pecha Kuchas 20 slides 20'' each - autopromoting - gotta keep talking on topic for 6'40'  #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:27:19 I once took my Ss to the school kitchen & we cooked a meal while talking in English #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:27:36 I bet everyone remembers running dictations #eltchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:28:05 Using a keyhole drawn on card to guess what is behind works well for kids classes #ELTchat

MConca16 2016-11-09T19:29:17 @Marisa_C #ELTChat sorry, misunderstood the Q.Shared materials on dropbox with Ss, set a task, they taught the lesson in groups on GMOs
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:29:44 Keyholes are fun -#Eltchat have seen some great lessons https://t.co/aNkzmAL16I
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:30:03 @Marisa_C me too #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:30:05 @MConca16 nooooooooo worries #eltchat :-)
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:31:39 It seems we're all talking about lessons during which Ls were fully involved in doing sth (and Ts were almost silent!) #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:31:52 Had a very good lesson on American culture, where the answers built up the map of USA. BE sts really enjoyed it #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:32:37 To give memorable lesson; start with a  catchy introduction #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:33:45 Fairly tale writing -  start  a fairytale or story &  groups change papers every 2 mins - for some reason Ss still mention this #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:34:26 @Marisa_C Yes! I have done this as a trainee and I still remember every second of it! #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:34:38 #ELTchat I rarely got Ss to play games & do activities. Outside class we chat on unplanned subjects - shouldn't Ss practice doing just that?
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:34:38 @Marisa_C Nice idea #ELTchat or make fairytale cards. Sts choose 10 and write collaboratively
purlandtraining 2016-11-09T19:35:26 RT @ELTchat: In less than 30 min we talk about memorable lessons - what makes a lesson memorable and what do we take out of it? #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:36:43 you are thinking more generally OK - #ELTchat Agree - start with a BANG!!!! https://t.co/YvDwuPUk2r
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:37:02 Ss once dressed different countries costumes  #ELTchat
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:37:13 @angelos_bollas @Marisa_C #ELTChat did 'cinderella.The true story' in the form of a tabloid first page.Real fun
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:37:46 A lesson I enjoyed was when my dyslexic st just 'got it'. He was so proud of himself after years of hearing he was stupid #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:38:49 @Marisa_C I meant that if the tr attracts Ss attention from the beginning, they won't forget it! #ELTchat
purlandtraining 2016-11-09T19:38:53 RT @ELTchat: Time for #ELTchat - Who's around? We talk 'Memorable Lessons' tonight
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:40:48 @SueAnnan Congrats to you both. What did you do so that "he got it"? #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:40:56 I remember some dogme lessons I've delivered - I think they are memorable to me coz I didn't have an agenda/plan to stress about #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:41:58 @angelos_bollas Why don't you do it all the time? Institutional restraints? #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:42:09 @GlenysHanson I used a couple of pieces of card to make a window for reading. It really helped. #ELTchat
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:42:14 #ELTChat I taught SS from 7 nationalities how to make Tiramisù (Italian way) for a cLIL lesson in Newcastle.Classroom turned into a kitchen
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:42:42 We also wrote the words in the air, to memorise the letter shapes and then labelled everything with pictures too #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:43:19 @GlenysHanson I don't teach that often lately - but when I did, yes - parents did not like not following the coursebook faithfully #ELTchat
Tigerenglish222 2016-11-09T19:44:26 RT @teachingright: To give memorable lesson; start with a  catchy introduction #ELTchat
GlenysHanson 2016-11-09T19:46:28 @SueAnnan I've helped dyslexics too by getting theme to focus slowly & in order on letters, words, phrases. Window is a neat idea. #ELTchat

SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:47:25 @GlenysHanson it's a really simple idea, but soo effective #ELTChat Just two right angles of card
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:48:08 @sigardit are you taking part in tonight's #ELTChat?
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:48:17 Does the group play a role in making a lesson memorable? #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:48:50 @angelos_bollas Yes. I think so. Not always memorable for the right reasons too #ELTchat
teachingright 2016-11-09T19:49:04 Also peer teaching  is an effective way & Ss enjoy it #ELTchat
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:51:30 @SueAnnan True! #ELTchat
MConca16 2016-11-09T19:51:30 @teachingright #ELTChat I agree. It breaks the routine and brings new teaching styles in the classroom that Ss will benefit from
angelos_bollas 2016-11-09T19:52:15 It's very interesting that we've all talked about positive memories :-D #ELTchat
SueAnnan 2016-11-09T19:52:51 @angelos_bollas I think we try to learn from negatives and move on #ELTchat
Marisa_C 2016-11-09T19:52:56 Sorry I had to step away for a wee bit - #Eltchat peer teaching does galvanizse some otherwise not v keen Ss
