I used to assume I was a good teacher because I knew what I was talking about, I enjoyed what I was talking about, and I was a good talker. Only much later did I realize the problem was my assumption that teaching mostly involves talking (& my tendency to do way too much of it).

If you use these in your lessons, I would love to know how your students find them.
