I was able to correct the talking problem with very little action against the students involved. Of course, the first thing I did was change their seating. I placed the talkers in the front of the class close to me where I spend most of my time. Next, I gave the talking students three choices. Choice I, stop the disruption of talking or they would have to use the text book, read several chapters, and do all review questions at the end of the chapter. <BR/>The rest of the class does hands on activity while they are doing this. Choice II, write a thousand word essay on a subject related to their class curriculum. Choice III, stop talking, join the class, and have a good time doing the hands on activity with everyone else. So far, all talkers have chosen choice III.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02669263768030945021noreply@blogger.com
