I decided to try some experimental ideas in my speaking classes...
[1]complete the sentence survey.
The students filled in the blanks. For example: "Tomorrow I will..., I love..., People say I'm..., I wish..." Each student read their responses and then the class would ask questions to get more details. This excercise was extremely successful and helped the students practice asking and answering questions.
[2]on the spot speech.
I filled a bag with pieces of paper. On the paper were various words. Each student randomly selected two words and then had to speak about those words for 45 seconds.
[3]For my elementary class, I changed things up a bit.
I played a version of Taboo using the bag of words. Each girl had a minute to try and describe three words. If the other girls could guess (figure out) three words before the minute was up then they would get a point.
I said that if they got ten points, I'd buy them choco-pies.

Thanks for the encouragement- it just hard to be facing the change, I know it'll be better once it's past.
I think you've found your calling Ryan- teaching suits you well on a number of levels.
Grace and peace my friend- hope we can catch up soon. love you!
