When I am planning my daily French class routines, I often include a concept called bellwork. So, what exactly is bellwork?

 

Bellwork is a simple activity that students complete as soon as they walk into the class before the lesson actually begins.

 

The strategy behind bellwork is that your students are engaged in a routine  activity as soon as they enter the room and therefore sets the scene for productivity. Bellwork also serves a number of other useful functions. It allows the teacher time to complete other activities, such as checking agendas and homework before the lesson begins, whilst the students are busy completing the bellwork activity.
