classroom managment 101
All you have to do is pretend like you've lost your voice. Then they have to be really, really quiet to hear anything you have to say. Of course, this creates a rather dour atmosphere in the classroom with no energy or enthusiasm for learning.It does however make the "I'm so disappointed in you; when are you going to learn that you actually have to put some effort in to succeed" speech even more dramatic when spoken in soft, low tones, every ear straining to hear what you have to say.
But on the other hand, when you aren't just pretending, it kinda sucks.

Hope you feel better soon! Thank you so much for your great advice and encouragement for my McCarthyism unit! I was thinking I might be a bit info-heavy on my slides; I ended up feeling like I need to rush through certain things; like I was losing even my Methods classmates! Great idea to coordinate with the history class unit on the Cold War.
