Day 1 - Introduction & Classroom Management

I think I would attempt to use a sound (bell, clap) as a strategy to gain control of the class. It would be different then my voice (which they would hear all the time), and be a little fun for the students.

Day 2 - Motivation (Sep 1st)

I would use a Fermi problem to get my students thinking about my lesson plan - Multiplying Integers; For example:

How would use multiplying of integers when you go grocery shopping, give some examples?

//Do you plan to use punishment as a classroom management technique in the classroom? Why or Why Not?//

It all depends on your definition of 'punishment' ..? I do not think I would use punishment, but I would have discipline. Discipline involves following rules for the benefit of the community. I certainly would have the students follow the code of conduct via discipline.

//If you do plan to use punishment, give 1-3 specific examples of how and when you would use it.// If I had to invoke discipline, I would use the 'take-away' to modify the students behviour. Examples, no time in class to complete home activity, it would be done on their time. Not allow student to participate in group activity, the would have to work independenly.

Try to forecast upcoming workload and activities ..... geting started is the difficult step, if you get start you can work on tasks( lesson plans, assignments, tests, et al) when you have other things on the go .... grocery shopping, house cleaning, hockey coach, etc .... It is these times you can think about the steps ..... but you must get started ...!
