Welcome to the podcast! In this episode, we will discuss 5 engaging bell ringers for your students.
If you’ve ever started class with students chatting, rummaging through their backpacks, or staring blankly into space, you know the magic of a good bell ringer (AKA “do now” or “anticipatory set”). These quick, meaningful activities get students engaged from the moment they walk through the door. They set the tone for learning, give you time to take attendance, and help students shift into “ELA mode.”
Listen here for five tried-and-true bell ringer ideas that middle school ELA teachers love.
We will discuss bell ringers for:
- Seasonal activities
- Vocabulary
