ABSTRACT
Selecting activities that provide students with the best practice opportunities can be a challenge.  In this presentation/workshop, we will review how to select activities that best meet the learning goals of the students, evaluate typical activities for their effectiveness and investigate ways to revise activities to make them more effective. Activities such as "Find Someone Who", quiz games and charades are all popular classroom activities.  Are these  activities doing all they can?
How can we make these activities work harder? In the workshop, we will look at some examples of activities that have been revised.  A brainstorming session will allow participants to share ideas and information about activities that work, and think of ways to make existing activities more effective.  At the end of the workshop, participants will have concrete information and ideas they can apply to their teaching.
