Teaching Tip: Fun Way Of Maintaining Order
By: Lisa Morris, 7th Grade Teacher: Woodbury Middle School
“Before dismissal, I announce to the class that the "quietest, cleanest, straightest row or group will be dismissed first. To add a bit of interest, I also add another adjective, such as weirdest, happiest, most sleepy, most professional-looking, etc. The possibilities are endless. I even use new vocabulary terms such as "most indignant," and "most discreet." The kids soon start submitting ideas to use. It is amazing how the room is straightened up in such a short amount of time!“
