I learned about the different stages of reading.

I find that a seating chart helps me to remember student's names.  I need to work on my organizational skills. That is a weakness of mine.  I've often wondered how I sometimes go faster in some classes than others.  So the Bermuda Triangle reference makes sense.

I like the idea of letting students vent and taking notes. Also the idea of a written complaint is a good idea.  Most of them won't take the time to write things out. 

I currently have a center stage student. I like the using-it-wisely idea.  I will definitely have to try it.  Walking around usually help my inattentive students. 

I need to get better about ice breakers.  I also need to clarify my late policy on missing assignments.
