Chapter 8 Review

Abstract:
Classroom Management
- white noise, to get attention, write silence, or clap, put a gfinger on the lips, point at a picture of a good class, time how long they take to quiet down, whisper, just start teaching, play bird noises.
These were all ideas for when you need to get control of your classroom. Obviously they won't all work for any group of kids, but one of them should work for the group of students that the teacher might have.
- some other ideas were to use symbols when preparing for tranistions so the students knew what to expect.
-Create a set of classroom rules with the students. So the rules they need to follow are their own.
-A teacher needs to be willing to target kids. Point out kids, use names, get in their faces, target each student equally.
Create hetero groups

Reflection
Some of the ideas are really good. The quiet ideas to gain control of the classroom I think will be very effective. As long as a techer is patient and is willing to just hold up a hand for a few extra seconds. I think that these are good ways to get control of a classroom, and the one I like th mst is probably just going right into the lesson. The students would know that they are responsible for what is presented while theya re talking, I bet most students would quiet down.
