How can she address this problem without singling these students out? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) So politely addressing this issue whole class is by stating after the instructions were given that there is a time slot to when this is due at the end of class so don't go wasting time by chatting and gossiping, use your time wisely here guys. Also, self circulate your classroom and check-in with the groups to make sure that they are on task and on track and discussing the only school-relevant matters.
