Captain? What's the purpose of this away mission, and why am I wearing a red shirt?

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

When life gives you nuclear fallout, make a Godzilla and help him become a social and environmental activist. #WeAreHCE

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

Sam, Emmari, and Joseph practice their inference skills by solving a Clue-style mystery together in class. #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A8: Recognizing what sets them off/upsets them, and catching those triggers consciously before a reaction happens #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A6: not formally, but I've had convos with kids b4 telling them that if they need to step out, to just do it & it's fine #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A5: Remove yourself, and PRACTICE removing yourself! After that, experiment w different calming techniques #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A4: to swing metaphorical fists & lash out. There are ways to think your way around it & not let it control you (2/2) #HallDeservesit

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A4: I think a big part of it is getting them to see there's more than one way to deal with a threat. You don't have (1/2) #HallDeservesit

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A4: getting them to admit the threat and not view it as a weakness they need to project/blame on someone/something else #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A3: The self-monitor chart in the book was a good one. What I felt/What I did/What other options did I have #HallDeservesit

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A2: Find out what type of control we can give them in the classroom that won't be counterproductive #HallDeservesit

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A1: Help them figure out WHY they're doing it (venting anger? getting attention?), and a better way to achieve the goal #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A7: If the kids already know the skills, they can be applied online, but the skills themselves are difficult to teach online #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A6: It's also a skill that can save kids time, if they're willing to give it a chance - learning to scan & get the gist. #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A6: I definitely think so. That's a useful skill that's applicable in tons of different subject areas, just like reading is #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

Me too on both counts. Sometimes stuff I've thought would make it worse turned out to help. Other times it royally backfired #HallDeservesIt https://t.co/uugypGpULp

[Ms. Amshoff @MsAmshoff]

A5: Probably because people are worried it will make things worse. Most times I am willing to try anything once. #halldeservesit

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A5: Sometimes because it's not "traditional"/not what they grew up with, so it seems like a foreign concept #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A4: I used to have a pretty good Spock "that behavior is illogical" look I gave kids, but I think mine are immune to it #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A4: games while I'm explaining persuasive - relate that to the "do video games cause violence?" debate & ask the kid (2/2) #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A4: Sometimes if a kid says/does something off-topic, I try and relate it back to the topic. Like a kid playing video (1/2) #HallDeservesIt

[TalkWordy2Me @WordyTalker]

A2: writing, we talk about current events & issues for persuasion, and personal examples & interests for expository (2/2) #HallDeservesIt
