I think ending one of my classes yesterday with an "I was really disappointed with how class went today" speech was somewhat effective. While class today was not great, but was significantly better than yesterday. We got 50 minutes worth of class done in 50 minutes not 90. So I finished class with the "today was much better" speech. We will see how long this continues. I think I just need a little more structure during the group work and a little more accountability.
Overall today was a good day, but it was Friday. Seveth period definitely felt like the last class of the day on Friday. I ended with a quiz, and I could not keep the students who finished early from talking, so I dismissed them early. Nothing wrong with leting kids go five minutes early on Friday when they were done for the day an hour previous.
