How to start the year with TPRS (part 1) - TPR

I never know where to direct people when they are curious about starting using TPRS in their classroom... so here's an attempt.

First few weeks:
Many TPRS teachers would recommend that you start off the year using TPR.  If you're not familiar with TPR, it's basically getting the kids to stand up and act out what you tell them.

You choose (at the most) 9 structures each day to go over with them and repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat.  I always choose 3 of the nine to teach in a cluster, then review the previous 3 as needed.  By the end of the class, I am using all 9.

There are some different techniques involved in TPR.
