So I got my students to read my essay in five parts. I explained how they could make out certain parts due to their classmates’ expressive reading (even though the class was generally noisy). I told them that there was the power of punchy sentences.

I think they were all amused by me parenting to box. I wished I had put on real boxing gloves, though haha.

Subsequently, I gave them a timed practice. Some completed writing a story, taking care to apply my advice for writing an ending, whereas others couldn’t even pen an introduction. Some boys were making owl-like noises, which got my ADHD student quite irritated. But I guess I would give myself grace and take that as a win since some students managed to execute what I had taught them! Haha

Thanks for asking
