I was in the Military and it taught me to respect those in authority and obey the rules at all times so my issues come in when even the quietest of my students whisper among one another. <br /><br />With that being said, I have begun grouping my students into "Districts" as in the ones from The Hunger Games. They choose what District they want, first come first serve. Then I can set them to task and they work quietly with collaboration.<br /><br />I know this isn't the end all be all answer, but it has helped me manage my students on a much different level as I now have more of them Engaged in the lesson and giving input as well. <br /><br />Good stuff.<br /><br />Mr. HMr. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569923533729018338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-87551576608416855632013-08-24T15:27:38.811-04:002013-08-24T15:27:38.811-04:00Hi, TSS - your post reveals a primary issue for ev...Hi, TSS - your post reveals a primary issue for every teacher, and will require a great deal of planning and multiple strategies to teach each student at their level. Grouping, of course, helps towards this goal and helps keep your planning time manageable.Dr. Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13343227079228308132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-86322608622577104452013-08-24T15:23:26.600-04:002013-08-24T15:23:26.600-04:00Sounds good.Sounds good.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01308518139776299403noreply@blogger.com
