  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 think that allowing a stop and peer chat may be helpful. That way she can get it out. I also think that discussing in the beginning that you will have a discussion at the end will help. I would also tell them that writing down thoughts to talk about would be beneficial so they dont lose their thought.

Comments: In my training we often incorporated a "turn and talk" about the subject for the students, it was a timed activity, I think your suggestion is a good way for students to give input without interrupting.
