Share Self-control During Independent Work

The principal comes to the classroom door. Your teacher steps out to discuss something with her. It seems like the perfect time to talk to your friends.
You know that you are expected to be working. Just because the teacher isn’t watching doesn’t mean it’s OK to get off task and distract others.
The person sitting across from you starts loudly tapping his desk with his pencil.
You catch his attention and shake your head “no” to remind him not to disrupt class.
You need help but the teacher is helping someone else.
You put your hand down and wait patiently for your turn.
You finish all your work. You would really like to visit with your friend next to you. You look around and see some other students are still working.
You don’t want to disturb them, so you get your library book out and read instead.
Your teacher has asked the class to work together on an assignment witha partner. Although you thought you were listening to the directions, you’re still not sure you understand what to do.
You raise your hand to ask a question that will help you and your partner complete the assignment correctly.
It is time to work on Dreambox, but you would rather open another tab and watch a Youtube video about videogames.
The expectation is that you will work on the assigned lesson.
