I'm a shy person, when it comes to asking questions. Teachers especially , when you need something or don't understand something and you have to ask the teacher, I wouldn't. I would always turn around and whisper to my friend and if I couldn't I would stay quiet and just try (and fail.)
When I first came to fifth grade, I still had the same problem, but my teacher had a solution. She would play this game with the class where everyone scanned there classwork or/and homework before they did it. After we all finished scanning it, she would pass out post-its to the whole class. Everyone would write down a question, and if they didn't have a question, they would draw a smiley face on the post-it. After we all had a question down (or a smiley face) she drew a target on the white board and we all crumbled up the post-its and threw it as hard as we could to the target.
She picked up all the post-its and put it into a basket. Then she went around the room and all the students pulled out a post-it. And one by one she answered the question.
Sounds like a good idea;perhaps I'll try it.
ReplyDeleteI know how it feels like being shy :)
ReplyDeleteI used to be very shy when I was young, but I improved. You get really frustrated, and annoyed because you're just too shy. What your fifth grade teacher did was something very smart.
Nice memoir monday ^^
I agree with Ms.Meadows, it sounds like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job!:)
: I`m a very shy person to ask questions too!!
ya me too, I am always shy to answer and ask questions (im affraid to say somthing stupid). I think what your teacher did was pretty smart, and also fun! nice memoir
ReplyDeleteI think not only would it be helpful, it would be fun too. I like the idea not because I'm shy but because people expect me to know things and sometimes I feel embarrassed when I have to ask out loud in class!

ReplyDeleteThat is a really good idea! I can be very shy at times too! Great Memoir Monday!
