It's tragic really.

How do you teach and English class when you have no voice?
Last Friday during the afternoon, I had no voice. I could whisper but has anyone here tried to whisper instructions 6 year olds? I need to get across specific instructions on how "u" sounds when there is an "e" behind it. Yeah, it was fun. I have class tomorrow and I still have a voice that isn't going to hold out for the entire day let alone the entire week. So I have come up with some ideas to help get my point across:
1. Change the lessons to be about seals. Teach the kids how to make sounds like seals: Ork! Ork! Ork!
2. I could become Marcel Marceau
3. I could let them go crazy for the 20 minutes I teach them. But I'm scared of this
Any other suggestions?


Hmmm I guess they're probably too young for silent reading... but I do like the mime idea.
