One thing that I've learned from teaching in Palau and I'm sure has been stressed in my classes, I just don't remember, is to always plan ahead and be prepared. Yesterday afternoon the copier broke down right before I went to make copies for today. Since it was down, I decided to come early today so I could make copies. However, when I came this morning it was still down. On Thursday of last week I had made copies of the main assignment for this week. Instead of panicking that I didn't have the worksheets for today's morning work, I made small changes to my lesson plan. I did our book work for our morning work and I did our daily assignment for our group work.
You never know what will go wrong, you could be totally on schedule but you never know what could happen in your surroundings to throw your schedule out of whack. By making some copies ahead of time or even by planning extra book work, you leave yourself some cushion for error or unexpected circumstances.
