Be interesting, I had a teacher that would literally flip a chair or slam his hand on a desk to get students' attention. It worked, the loud noise was frightening, but everyone found it hilarious and would be more interested in paying attention than talking. Another way is to give students who talk strikes and when they get a certain amount move their desk next to yours or away from everyone. If they continue to somehow talk, send them to another class to complete their work.
