ABSTRACT
Take the time to collect or create a list of classroom survival expressions or Phrases of the Day. Although you may write one on the board each day for students to copy down into a notebook, students appreciate having a premade list of them. This way, students don’t have to wait until November to learn a particular expression they might like to have now. It also facilitates review of past expressions, because you can ask students to take out the expression-of-the-day packet for a quick review. Flashcards of the expressions are helpful, too. Make a list for each level so students continue to learn new expressions. These lists may also come in handy for students when they write dialogues.
