ATTENTION: If posting, even if you know how to post, please read the "How To" section by clicking on the button above. You need to be adding labels to your posts and this tells you how and what. To add a label, slick "Show Labels" in the post section and then click on the two labels you need: semester and category. DON'T TYPE IT IN because it may not be the exact label and if it's not, it won't link. There will be a comma between labels. You do NOT need to add your name as a label.
Ding!
Giving the students an expectation of what they need to accomplish and the amount of time it should take them is very helpful. I try and do this with every activity, but the concept of time can be a little hard for students to understand if they don't see it happening.
One way to capitalize on this method is to have an actual stopwatch or clock that will sound when the time is up. This clock should be big enough that students can see exactly how much time they have left to complete the given task or assignment. An example I have seen another teacher in my grade use is a Time Timer Clock (timetimer.com). The students have a better visual of how long they have to complete something and will work hard to get it done! This particular type of clock does not sound when it is finished but the entire clock will be red in color. So it can be used for test taking and activities that requires little or no noise.
