2. Setting ground rules Provide each group with a set of fifteen rules Select the four most important that everyone should stick to After 5 minutes show shortlists and explain reasons for choices Class agree a common set of rules which they would stick to As a variation, each group could create and abide by its own set of rules. The teacher could then discuss with the class which group worked best at the end of the exercise and why A Wood AST March 2011

3. Setting ground rules Actively taught, clearly understood and consistently enforced over a period of time Routine part of pupil behaviour Tell and give reasons why they exist Involve pupils in the setting up of rules How can you reinforce the rules?

I can see you have nearly completed the work. You must have stayed on task well. A Wood AST March 2011
