In my class, I have 7 girls and 18 boys. This dynamic has been difficult to balance. I have noticed the boys are very talkative and playful (sometimes very disruptive). How can I tailor my plans to appease the boys as well as the girls interest? What are some daily techniques I can try to get the boys more focused and less playful? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would attempt to create lessons that give the students more choices in their education. For example, using reading logs that allow students to choose what book they read. That way, everyone gets pick a topic that interests them and everyone can discuss their books with others who share similar interests. I also like the idea from other posts that mention incorporating motion activities in the day.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I like how you incorporated having students pick withing their interests for books.
