>> Hi!

>> Yesterday was my first day of classes. Every class went as planned, was
>> awesome and responsive and then 7th period, a Spanish 2 class with 38
>> students, came on. They were excessively chatty, in English. And there are
>> about 8 students who are the disruptive type and talk out in English a LOT,
>> 3 of whom just really don´t care. We only achieved half of what we did in
>> all other classes and got no vocab up, though we did in every other class.
>> 5 were sent out of the circle for a minute, 1 was sent out of the circle
>> and then outside the class for a minute twice!
>>
>> So it looks like I am going to have to debrief TODAY with them and not
>> during English days/week. It can't wait. My thoughts:
>>
>> -Have a discussion about trust and decency
>> -Talk about the effect of breaking out into English which switches the
>> brain. Somewhere I heard that research says that it takes 7-8 minutes to
>> get back to before the brain switch. Can someone hook me up with that
>> research?
>>
>> I also plan to go over consequences including what one of the members of
>> my PLC shared with me. It is a Debrief behavioral sheet that the student
>> has to fill out. I'm going to try this for students who have to leave the
