Daniel may have a point, depending on the place and/or
the pupil. Some feel the need to express themselves and
some feel they need to move on.
There was once a terrorist attack not far from our school.
We could hear the sirens of the police and ambulances and
the kids ran to the windows and started checking their cell phones.
It was obvious, the lesson as such could not continue.
(This was a Mabar class - 10th grade 3 points-borderline
4 points)
I stopped what I was doing and asked them to write me a letter.
(We had an ongoing diary journal, once every two weeks.)
I told them they should write how they feel and what they think.
I also told them that if they don't want to refer to the terrorist attack,
they can write whatever they want. I was surprised that most of
the pupils decided NOT to refer to the incident. Only 4 out of 25
wrote about the attack.
Sometimes, noone addresses these situations with them and
sometimes, that is all they hear all day.
So I guess, flexibility is the key word, as usual.
