Watch Your Tone of Voice
This goes along with the snippiness I mentioned in #31. Students read a lot into your tone of voice, whether you intend to use a certain lilt or not. You can't be sarcastic too often (but you can't be monotone either). You can't let your anger and frustration show (oh that one is tough, and you slip up, but you don't go in every day giving someone an attitude. Let them work up to a level of frustration :P).
Don't yell directly in their faces.
DO keep a low tone as often as possible. Show happiness and cheer through your words and through your tone. Let your enthusiasm to teach, and for that subject, bleed through your voice. Let them hear your compassion and understanding.
