Default Re: Your strategies for large classes

Your speed dating idea is great Chris. I used to have large classes too. Group work and group projects worked best for me. My secret was to make groups elect group representatives who then formed a jury. he jury had representatives from each group. Each group would present their project in front of the jury. The projects ranged from describing things, teaching about something, dialogue, to speaking contests. It helped my classes a lot and in some cases I had very little work to do. You'd be surprised how serious the jury is.
All the best.
Denis.
