The textbook helped me!!!

I must say our presentations with those behaviors cards were interesting. I’ve always thought how I would react to certain situation in the classroom like for instance a student throwing a pen across the room or a student kicking a desk. Well after experiencing at least a little bit I think I can handle it. Before my presentation I read a chapter for another class on classroom management and I tried to use some of those techniques I read about during my presentation and I must say they work. One of those techniques was a quiet stare, which tells that students you noticed and you think he should stop the behavior. I used it when on of my classmate kicked a desk and after my presentation was over he said that it was effective. Another I used was the use of proximity while in they class was in-group activity if I noticed they were speaking about something that nothing to do with the subject. Overall I think that the textbook was extremely helpful where in most cases text books are not practical this one was.
