Yesterday, I had nearly no voice. My throat actually felt better than on prior days; it's just that no sounds came out when I tried to speak. I wondered if I should cancel class. We do lots of group work in the communication courses, so it's not as if I stand and talk for four straight hours.
Somehow the hours passed. It was very hard to introduce new material. I could whisper at each table as the groups were working on activities. I had to change the methods I use for the particular materials. I must admit everything went much better than I would've expected. My students were very cooperative and I'm pleased with their performance. I hope I get to tell them soon!
