I've done a lot of Telling The Way lessons- they can be one of the most difficult lessons for students. Using the Where Is The Barber chant and a map drawn on the blackboard, I was amazed how well the students did with this material.  This was the first time for them to study this pattern- check out the video!

The video shows a really easy way to help students remember LEFT and RIGHT.
