Classroom Management Funny Series #2
- This strategy is intended to be fun
- It is not designed to transform classroom culture but helps gain attention from students
- Use it a few times throughout the semester (But don’t overdo it!)
Quiet Your Faces
- Use “Quiet Your Faces” when attempting to get attention from a noisy class
- It allows you to get their attention in a fun way because “Quiet your faces” sounds funny
- It sounds like it could be inappropriate (similar to Shut Your Mouths!) but the beauty is that it isn’t inappropriate, which makes students laugh
- It kind of stuns students when they first hear it (What did he/she just say?) so you can gain their attention, to give them instructions or to start a discussion
