  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!)
To ensure that the students don't have the opportunity, Mr. Brown could provide students with brain teaser activities, puzzles, or any other kind of learning activity to complete. The assignment should be the appropriate length so that students can complete it in a short amount of time. When students have a completion rate of 100% the teacher can reward the student with a small token, or points that lead up to a bigger event.

Comments: If they do not have work to do when the behavior occurs, having students compete for a small prize on a quick trivia question sounds like a good way to keep them orderly. It can also be used as an incentive that can be take away.
