your book on your desk and your book bag on the floor next to your seat. All electronics should
be put away unless stated otherwise for the class.

5. Look towards the board. The bellringer will be written on the board, and you are expected to
begin working quietly.

day or what they will learn that day. If you were to finish your work before I close the door, turn
to your neighbor, and discuss the bellringer.

aloud because if their multiple hands up, there is high possibility that other students
have the same question.
