Inefficient scenario 1: students enter the class at different times talking loudly about incidents that took place during breakfast or on the bus. They fumble around asking each other for pencils and paper. Some of them only begin the assigned task when directed to do so, even though the Warm Up is written on the board everyday.

# data[].attributes.body
Inefficient scenario 2: during a group activity, students individually pick up materials shelf in the back of the room. Students begin to argue over colors and spill some of the materials on the floor. Meanwhile, students who are waiting for the other students to finish getting materials  are sitting in the background talking noisily.

# data[].attributes.body
Inefficient scenario 3: you would like to get the attention of your rambunctious class to make an important announcement about their work. You have tried getting their attention, only to find day are growing louder. You stand quietly and hope that they notice your silence. One student see this and motions for the class to quiet down… 8 minutes have passed.

# data[].attributes.body
Inefficient scenario 4: after taking a short quiz, some of your students hand in the quiz and find themselves talking with each other. This distracts some of the other students who now feel rushed in an attempt to catch up with their speedy counterparts. Furthermore, they have taken to talking to some of the test takers and you are sure that some of them may be cheating.

2) When students are finished early with their work, do they have something else meaningful to do?

3) Are the students idle while waiting for you?

4) Did you spend too much time on warm up or any part of the lesson?
