  Case: Homeroom
Every morning, Mr. Brown's homeroom students are very loud. Mr. Brown has asked many times to sit down and be quiet. He has assigned silent lunch to those disruptive students and assigned silent homeroom when needed. The students, however, continue the behavior daily. What other strategies could Mr. Brown try both for individual students and/or whole group?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
In our homeroom, we are allowed to access PBS cartoons through Safari Montage. My students loved to watch it while they eat their breakfast. (The school provides breakfast for students to eat in homeroom) They are allowed to watch cartoons as long as they are seated and quiet. However, if they become disruptive we turn cartoons off. You wouldn't think that middle school students would get into cartoons as much as they do, but they really enjoy being able to watch them in the mornings before we start our day.
