  Case: Wants to talk to me in the middle of my lesson
In my internship classroom, I have a student that literally has a story for everything that I prepare a lesson on. She always wants to talk to me in the middle of my lessons and it gets the entire classroom off task. I have tried multiple times to dismiss her stories, by saying "Tell me after class", "We need to focus on this right now", and the often harsh "Does this have anything to do with what we are talking about in our lesson". She is on the autism spectrum and gets very upset when you redirect her back to the lesson. What do I do so I do not hurt this students feelings, as well as continue to discipline her so she is not constantly blurting out in the middle of my lessons?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I would provide this student with a copy of the lesson as well as an activity to fill out as the lesson goes on. This would encourage her to be quiet and listen so that she can fill out her worksheet. If she completes the worksheet and does not interrupt for 5 lessons, I would allow her to earn the chance to not have an activity for the next lesson.
