4. Redirection procedure
When I need to get your attention I will use a technique that will let you know that I need you to be SILENT and have your attention on ME AND ONLY ME.
First, I will put my hand up (like this).
When you see my hand go up, you will also put your hand (ONE HAND) up like this AND YOU MUST STOP ALL TALKING AND DOING WHAT YOU ARE DOING once your hands are up in the air.
ONLY when there is ABSOLUTE SILENCE will I continue. If not, then I will start a countdown from 5, 4. 3, 2, 1. If I have to use a countdown at any point of the class then that means that more than likely students are NOT following directions and there might need to be a consequence.
MODEL
Are there any questions?

Student repeat the directions. Are there any questions?

12. Icebreaker/getting to know you: Part i
Food for Thought: Directions:
*Students sit in groups*
The first student: states his/her name and their name and favorite food that begins with the first letter of their first name. For example, “Hi, my name is Baksh, and I like Bananas.”
The student clockwise will introduce him/herself and THEN repeats the other student’s name and favorite food.
SO ON AND SO FORTH. Watch out. It gets tricky for the last person who has to recite all the names and foods!
Any questions?

13. Icebreaker/getting to know you: Part iI
"Who Am I?" Riddle Book:
Have the children share facts about themselves by creating a "Who Am I?" riddle book.
Students write 1 or 2 statements about themselves. The last line is a question, "Who Am I?”
Once all students are done, I will collect the sheets and RANDOMLY distribute them in the class.
We will go around beginning with GROUP 1 who will read the fact and try to guess who that fact belongs to.
Go clockwise!
Any questions?
