As if by magic (to be done before the October 7 class)

One of the most important keys to good teaching is the ability to create a classroom environment conducive to learning. Consider the learning-environment factors discussed in the Chapter IV of TSSFFAP (Schtick and Tricks: The Easy Road to Teaching Stardom).

Which of these positive-environment-building factors mentioned in TSSFFAP do you think you are/will be particularly good at? Which do you think will be more of a struggle for you?

What about the "schtick and tricks" angle?  Can you think of examples of schtick and tricks that you've seen work well in a high school or college classroom and that you might use in your own teaching?  Do you see any dangers to the schtick and tricks approach?
