One of the statements in this module was that each session should begin with an attention-getting stunt by the instructor. This works well in many situations. If it becomes a formula approach it can be tedious to a point of annoyance. The subject being taught, the personality of the lecturer, and the motivation of the students all bear heavily on each presentation.
James,
Good point about routine. The attention getting idea is based upon many different approaches. The key is to try and capture the interest of students in the first few minutes of each class and then build from there.
