As a new instructor, I am trying to find the balance of lecture versus hands on. I am teaching a communications course which hands on or group work would be the most beneficial. Unfortunately, I have a ton of required lecture/quizes/test that seem to come first. I feel like I could teach them more without the formal lecture but I am brand new and I don't know where to draw the line on formal information (accredited lesson plans) and actually doing. I would prefer quick lectures and then tactile. I just need to figure out how to teach them all… >>>

On my first day of class, I started off with a personal motivational speech for my Speech Communications class. I wanted to give them my background, but also show them my level of expertise on the matter of public speaking. I could tell I really blew them away. It set a very positive tone to the course. Each week since, I have found them to be fully engaged, eager to learn, and excited about what I am trying to teach them.
