Freshness

Keep it fresh Don.  You're planning too much with these lesson plans.  The moment you start explaining something with too many words, then the more you start sounding like a Charlie Brown adult to the students.  Tomorrow, simplify and try more performance based lessons.  Keep your word games as aces in your pocket.  Use them too much, you'll start looking like a cerebral cortex.  Your activities require too much concentration for that age range, not including the geeks~  You know about simplification.  Keep that it mind champ.  You're depending on the computer a bit too much, eh?  Stay accurate, meaning keep the essence of the lesson, the topic of the chapter... don't worry about it.  Now get some rest.
