🧑‍🏫 Teacher's Guide

ONLINE For live performance: ask other students to keep mic muted. For video submission: set a deadline (e.g. submit by 5 PM the evening before).
ONLINE Use two judges (teacher + assistant) watching the video simultaneously to ensure fairness. Average their scores.
OFFLINE Set up a "mini stage" -- even a chair at the front of the room creates a performance atmosphere. It matters!
TIP Play an upbeat intro song as each student walks to the stage/unmutes. Creates an exciting atmosphere.
TIP Never criticise in front of others. Positive feedback publicly, specific feedback privately.
NOTE If a student is extremely nervous online, allow them to submit a video instead of performing live. The goal is encouragement, not pressure.
