Post class rules
Students need to know what is expected of them from the very beginning. It is also useful to have visuals of the rules so that you can redirect small misbehavior problems by pointing at the appropriate rule poster. Since I have very little artistic talent I had my students create the posters for me. We went over the rules the first day of class and I had students each create a poster for two rules. We displayed all the posters for the first week. I later had the students vote on a single poster for each rule to leave up.
Post consequences
Students may occasionally break a rule. It is important that you have established a procedure for dealing with infractions. The consequences ...

Using details to explain things makes the topic more interesting, as well as easier to picture and understand. Sometimes, it gets a little confusing trying to think of descriptive words and to remember how they work. In these moments, you may find that you need a little help.

To do this, you use your active vocabulary. These are the words you know, and more importantly, know how to use in context!
Reading and listening on the other hand, are receptive language skills, this means that you receive information and have no control over it.
