PHRASES THAT I SHOULD
USE
I KNOW YOU CAN HANDLE IT: IT IS
LIKE SAY I KNOW THAT YOU CAN DO
IT!! IT SHOWS TO STUDENTS THAT
WE SHOW FAITH IN THEIR ABILITY
TO MAKE DECISIONS AND SOLVE OR
MANAGE THEIR OWN LIFES.
WHAT WILL YOU DO?: IT IS A
STATEMENT THAT CHANGES AN
UNDESIRABLE BEHAIVOR. IT PHRASE
CAN HELP TURN THESE POSITIVE
INTENTIONS INTO POSITIVE ACTIONS
INVITING STUDENTS TO THINK
ABOUT ALTERNATIVE BEHAIVORS
AND FOCUSE THEM IN THE POSITIVE.
SAY SOME MORE: IT ENCOURAGES
STUDENTS TO TAKE MORE TURNS ON
A CONVERSATION. IT TELLS THEM
THAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT THE STUDENT.
NEXT TIME: IT PLANTS PICTURES IN
STUDENTS OF WHAT A TEACHER
EXPECTS. IT GIVES USEFUL
INFORMATION FOR LATER
ALL YOUR LETTERS ARE RIGHT
BETWEEN THE LINES: THIS IS A KIND
OF PRAISE TO SAY TO STUDENTS
THAT THEIR WORK IS GOOD AND
THEY DID IT. IT IS A WAY TO
DESCRIBE THE JOB OF THE
STUDENTS, WE SHOULD SAY THIS
WORDS INSTED OF SAY “GOOD”,
“EXCELLENT”, BECAUSE WE GIVE
THEM AN INTERNAL STANDARD OF
EXCELLENCE IF WE DESCRIBE THE
JOB.
CIRCLE THE TWO YOU LIKE THE
BEST: THIS IS AN EXERCISE WE GIVE
TO STUDENTS TO EVALUATE
THEMSELVES. THAT´S A SELF
EVALUATION CHOSSING TWO THINGS
THAT THEY LIKED ABOUT THEIR
OWN WORK. IT´S A METHOD TO
CONTROL THEIR OWN LEARNING.
ANSWER IN YOUR MIND: WE GIVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS
IDEAS IN CLASSROOM TO THOSE
STUDENTS THAT DONT TALK. IT
PHRASES THAT I SHOULDN´T USE.
LOOK AT ANDREW´S PICTURE: WE SAY TO THE CLASS LOOK AT
ANDREW´S PICTURE IN FRONT OF THE CLASS. IT DISCOURAGES
CREATIVITY AND OTHER STUDENTS THINK YOU SPECT TO WORK
LIKE ANDREW´S WORK. IT MAY CREATE HUMILIATION.
--- WE CAN PRAISE PRIVATELY AND SAY THAT THE DRAWING IS
BEAUTIFUL.
WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I EXPLAINED THIS?: IT IS LIKE “WHAT
DID I JUST TELL?” IT DEMOSTRATES SARCASME AND RIDICULE.
--- IT IS BETTER TO SAY THAT WE ARE ANGRY FOR THE CONDUCT. WE
SHOULD EXPRESS OUR FEELINGS. SAYING “I´M ANGRY BECAUSE I HAD
TO STOP THE CLASS TO SAY YOU TO TAKE YOUR PLACE.”
STOP THAT NOISE AND SIT DOWN!: IT IS A GAME OF COMMAND AND
RESIST, WHERE STUDENTS ONLY RECEIVE ORDERS AND THAT WE
ONLY SAY TO THEM WHAT TO DO.
--- IM DISTRACTED BY THE NOISE. I WILL BEGIN WHEN YOU ARE
SEATED. IT COMMUNICATES WHAT WE THINK.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?: WHEN WE WANT TO FIND INFORMATION
OF A PROBLEM OR A BAD BEHAIVOR.
IT SHOWS CRITICISM.
--- WE HAVE TO WAIT IF IT ISNT IMPORTANT AND ASK LATER.
HURRY UP!: THAT IS LIKE A SICKNESS, WE WANT THAT STUDENTS
RUSH AND FINISH ACTIVITIES IN ONE SITTING.
WE HURRY THEIR PROGRESS.
---WE HAVE TO DO ACTIVITIES THAT WE DONT NEED TO FINISH IN
ONE SITTING AND INTEREST THE STUDENTS ON IT.
THIS IS GOING TO BE HARD: WHEN WE SAY THAT SOMETHING WILL
BE DIFFICULT TO DO OR MAKE, IT CREATES BAD EXPECTATIONS IN
STUDENTS AND NEGATIVE PREDICTIONS, AND THE STUDENTS WILL
BE AFRAID OF WHAT IS COMING.
--- WE SHOULD DESCRIBE THE ACTIVITY STEP BY STEP.
YOU ALWAYS /NEVER: WHEN WE GENERALIZE WITH THE ACTIONS
OF THE STUDENTS, LIKE WHY YOU NEVER PAY ATTENTION? WE
BRAND STUDENTS AS BEING THAT WAY AND THEY WILL ACT IN
THAT WAY. WE REINFORCES THIS BEHAIVOR.
--- WE SHOULD USE WORDS LIKE “USUALLY OR MOST OF THE TIMES”
TO REINFORCE WHAT STUDENTS REALLY MEAN.
YOU SURE ARE LUCKY: THEY ARE LUCKY BECAUSE THEY DO
SOMETHING. WE EMBELISH THE MYTH OF LUCK AND DISMINISHES
THE SENSE OF THEIR PERSONAL POWER.
--- WE SHOULD USE VOCABULARY THAT HELP STUDENTS TO
CONTROL THEIR OWN POWER AND FEEL THE CONTROL.
OK, WHO DID IT?: WHEN WE ASK TO GIVE INFORMATION TO FIND
THE FAULT. AND WE PAY ATTENTION IN WHO, IT IS A PRELUDE TO
PUNISMENT.
--- WE SHOULD SAY “ I SEE PAINT BRUSHES IN THE SINK AND IM
GIVES THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DEVELOPE CREATIVITY AND BRAKES
THE PATTER TO THOSE WHO GET
THEIR HANDS UP QUICKLY.
INCH BY INCH: WHEN WE GIVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO STUDENTS TO
ENJOY THEIR LEARNING SOMETIMES
STUDENTS WILL RUSH TO COMPLETE
THE TASKS, BUT WHEN WE SAY INCH
BY INCH, STEP BY STEP, WE GIVE THE
PERMISSION TO ENJOY AND REDUCE
FRUSTRATION AN STRESS.
WHAT DID YOU REALLY WANT TO
TELL HER?: IT´SA A PHRASE THAT
HELPS STUDENTS TO EXPRESS THEIR
FEELINGS INSTED OF USE “NAME-
CALLING” LIKE BAD WORDS AND NICK
NAMES. IT REMINDS TO THE
STUDENTS TO DETERMINE WHAT
THEY WANT AND EXAMINE THEIR
LANGUAGE PATTERN.
PUT YOUR BASEBALL CARDS AWAY:
THAT IS A STATEMENT THAT IS A
SYMBOLIC OF A MAJOR PROBLEM IN
OUR SCHOOLS, IT EMPHASIZES THE
IMPORTANCE OF CURRICULUM, THAT
SCHEDULES AND LESSONS PLANS ARE
MORE VALUED THAN THEIR OWN
INTERESTS. SUBJECTS ARE NOT ONLY
A SUBJECT, THEY ARE PART OF
EVERYBODY LIFE.
ANGRY” WE SHOULD TELL OUR FEELINGS TO DESCRIBE THE
SITUATIONS.
DID YOU WIN?: THE STUDENTS HAVE A COMPETITION AND WE ASK
IF THEY WON. IT ISNT IMPORTANT TO BE THE FIRST IT MISSED THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PAY ATTENTION IN SATISFACTION OF PLAY IN
TEAM AND ENJOY THE COMPETITION.
--- WE HAVE TO ASK “WHAT DID YOU LIKE ABOUT IT? AND IT CAUSES
IN STUDENTS TO CONSIDER VARIOUS ASPECTS OF COMPETITION.
IT´S EASY!: WHEN STUDENTS ARE ANSWERING AN EXERCISE. IT
MAKES THAT STUDENTS LOSE FAITH IN THEMSELVES, AND THEY
MAY FEEL AFRAID OF APPEAR INCOMPETENT.
--- WE HAVE TO SAY “I THINK YOU ARE READY TO THIS” AND
NOTHING WILL HAPPEND IF YOU FAIL.
THAT´S NOT A GOOD EXCUSE!WE SEND A WRONG MESSAGE THAT IF
THEY GIVE A GOOD EXCUSE THEY WONT FACE THE CONSEQUENCES,
BUT THAT´S INCORRECT!
--- WE SHOULD REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE. AND SHOW THEM THAT
BEHAIVOR IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN EXCUSES.
ACT YOUR AGE: WHEN WE THINK THAT STUDENTS SHOULD ACT
ACCORDING TO THEIR AGES. IT COMMUNICATES
MISUNDERSTANDING AND DISRESPECT.
--- WE SHOULD TEACH THE REASON BEHIND THE RULE THAT WE
WANT THE STUDENTS DO.
DONT YOU TALK TO ME LIKE THAT: WHEN WE INTERPRETE THE
STUDENTS WORDS AS AN ATTACK, AND WE BECOME DEFENSIVE, BUT
WE DONT HEAR THE REAL STUDENT´S MESSAGE.
---WE SHOULD FOCUSE ON STUDENTS FEELINGS AND SAY “YOU
SHOULD BE FURIOUS TO TALK LIKE THAT” IT LETS THEM KNOW YOU
HEARD THEM IN A DEEPER LEVEL, AND KEEP US IN CONTROL.
SAY YOU ARE SORRY!: WHEN THE STUDENTS DO SOMETHING BAD
AND WE ONLY ASK FOR AN APOLOGIZE. BUT IT ONLY GIVES TO THE
STUDENT AN EASY OUT AND THEY DONT FOCUS ON WHAT THEY
FEEL.
--- WE SHOULD SAY “ TELL HIM/HER IN A DESCRIPTIVE WAY AND
NON JUDGEMENT WHY ARE YOU ANGRY” AND WHAT THEY ARE
GONNA DO IN THE FUTURE. IT HELPS THE STUDENTS TO FOCUS ON
LEARNING.
