Re: Any examples of simple procedures for middle aged ESL ?

I have what I call "THE FIRST FIVE" - basically what students
are to do when they enter my classroom (3 different grade
levels = kids in and out all day long):
THE FIRST FIVE
1. Come in quietly.
2. Get a sharp pencil.
3. Sit down quietly.
4. Look at schedule for today.
5. Begin your work.
We practice it daily, and it has cut down on the noise and
disorder that can come from middle-schoolers. I also have
other procedures, like what to do when you need a sharp pencil
(NO one uses the pencil sharpener), where you turn in your
papers, etc. I teach them and model them (act them out
dramatically) when they come up. I also have a poster with
guidelines (rules) on it, but we'll tackle one or two a day
starting next week.
