I've got to teach a class in an hour and a half. It's the second-to-last class of semester, and we're pretty much doing a review of the course. (The last class will be a party.) Unlike my other courses, where the textbooks contain built-in review units, I pretty much had to come up with something myself for this one. And, what with my hand being hurt yesterday, I didn't really think about it much.

So today I sat down and said, "I've got all these grammar topics I want to review, but I don't want to stand up in front of the class for an hour to do it; that'll be boring for the students and for me."

But I have just struck upon a very sneaky idea, if-I-do-say-so-myself: I'm going to get the students to teach the class. I'll assign each student a grammar topic we've studied over the semester, give them a few minutes to prep, and then have each of them present their topic for 3-5 minutes. It's especially sneaky because people learn best by teaching, so this'll actually drill at least that topic into their head all the more.

Sometimes, I can be sneaky. Go me.
