Independent Work Students, usually after our whole-class activities we will have independent work time. In the same fashion as all of the other activities we perform in class we will have a procedure for doing independent work also. Independent work is to be completed on your own. That means that the completing of this work is not to be done among friends, between rows, or between neighbors. I want everyone s independent work to be done in this fashion so that after a lesson I will have a strong sense of what each of you know and understand about the lesson we have just went over.
Independent work is to be done in silence.
If there are any questions about the independent work take one of the cups from under your desk labeled help and place it on the top of your desk. I want you to continue to work until I come to your desk to help. Students we will place cups on our desk, so that I will know who needs help. Now let s practice. I will pass out our independent activity over today s lesson.
