<p>I teach a four hour block classroom and enjoy the set up. First off I need to be well rested and nourished. If I'm hungry I get cranky. The students are at many energy and preparation levels so a variety of tasks should be available for students to participate. A main lecture is first given. Then a variety of tasks vocabulary words, games videos and quizlets. If all the assignments are completed the students can study in the library this allows extra time for students that need it. Try using podcasts so the students can learn at their own pace giving them a deadline. It is empowering for students.</p>
