?Got students attention just once and students started focus. They seem used to it. Do you want quiet or silent? There's good conversations but need consistency.
Sally defined opulence verbally, gave an example, made a connection
**Tip: Make entrance ticket simpler and readable. Focus on accessibility.
Try to move towards cold calling or some tool that allows that. I.e. Popsicle sticks. Some students still just hanging back.
The DTP asked for students to give feedback and make connections.
**Tip: Need to consistently enforce hand raising so all students feel safe to participate

**Tip. Team can praise students that are raising hands to reinforce classroom expectations.
?Michael, why did you choose to be in the middle of circle when conducting discussion?
**Tip. Have someone write the main points on board and students to write it down.
