Assignment task: Please read through the 5 scenarios and then choose a classroom engagement strategy that could be implemented (remember the Kagan strategies?).
1. You are a high school English teacher. You are leading a discussion about the assigned book. One table of students keeps talking to one another. Why?
2. You are a kindergarten teacher. Cheyanne often looks bored in class and today, like many days, she finished her work long before the other students. She has spent most of the rest of her class time bothering the girls in the row ahead of her. She has consistently earned A's on all the tests and assigned projects, and you suspect that the work is simply not challenging enough for her.
3. You are a middle school math teacher. Devon is the ringleader of a group of students he has recruited to create distractions in your classroom. How do you stop the group and their actions before it gets any worse?
4. You are a 3rd grade teacher. You want to plan an activity to review for an upcoming science test. What will you do?
