Professional Tip
. Do this consistently in class so students can do the same in their notebooks. This really helps with pronunciation, and gives them an excellent record of your classes to study from.
. In this course, the stress is marked for you in blue on all the poly-syllabic words in the Vocabulary builders (because so many blobs would look very strange!). But use blobs on the board. They're quick, accurate and easy to copy.
