Hi Nora, Yes, there are but the kind of activities depends on the content you teach. Tomorrow my students will be submitting their end of course major projects. They were given a live work situation that they had to study and then make recommendations on how to solve the needs of the company. I have a large class so I have each student come to class ready to make a 5 minute presentation on his/her proposal. I put all their names in a cup and draw out one name at a time. That person then makes the presentation and responds to questions. I then draw another name and repeat the procedure. I do this as many times as I need to give the class a feel for how proposal presentation and "selling" of ideas work in the real world. Generally, this will be 5 to 6 presentations. Also, this length keeps the students from getting bored. Since everyone is on deck to present the projects are completed and ready to hand in. My students really like this approach because they never know who will be picked but they are all ready just in case. Plus, we have some fun when names are called because there is moaning and groaning about being picked and others going "whew" that they weren't picked. This banter is all in good fun by the students. Everyone feels good that they have prepared well and are ready to go whether they make the actual presentation or not. Gary
