7th hour class: I gave "I" the positive attention, made the request that he sit away from his friends during classroom presentation to circumnavigate negative behavior and achieved 100% compliance. He is proud of his ongoing work and seemed a lot less anxious over all. Who I am towards him as being a stand for his contribution, looking for great achievements impacts who he gets to be in class. Relocating him to a place where he can stop trying to shine for his buddies and be the center of their attention was a great idea. He is far more focused on creating and doing a good job.
Today, I monitored how I rotate through tables, what I scan for in terms of following directions, and on task behavior. I notice student "M" has a difficult time staying motivated. In fact, I notice where students tend to be off task I could identify a triad within one table in three different periods varying in gender and grade. Most off task behavior was during the generation of their thumbnails (rough drafts). Students were 100% engaged once they settled and took ownership of cutting and pasting, excited to see their outcome taking shape. My objective is to identify the origination of off task behavior and see what it says about the student in terms of unaddressed learning needs.
