Click the buttons to be transported to all the pages for that grade level. They are ordered by school year.

For the younger students. In most cases we target non-readers, but there are plenty of sheets for readers as well. Students should be to understand the concept of directions and start to make their way on to following them.

Students should have a good handle on reading and be able to follow directions independently. Basic math fact skills are necessary for some of the sheets found at the bottom of that topics page.

Middle level students are the most notorious non-direction reading age level. I would hammer them with these sheets throughout the school year. We had a teacher tells us that they add one of these to all their major tests throughout the school year.

I like to leave one of these with my substitute teachers, every single time I am out. I like to make it extra credit through the school year too.

How to Make Sure Students Are Following Instructions

For a teacher, it is imperative to get your point across the table to your students. Some teachers get pretty anxious when students do not follow their instructions, confusing both parties but causing trouble only for the teacher responsible. Nor does the teacher understand how to make herself more straightforward, nor do the students make an effort to ask questions.

Students usually run away from the hard stuff, and teaching them using complex methods, can exacerbate the situation as it becomes impossible to penetrate their minds. Due to this barrier, students find it easier to disturb the class decorum by not following what they are asked to do.

If your pesky students are stressing you and you don't know how to get students to listen and follow your instructions, you are in the right place to look for answers. We bring you the Dos and Don'ts in a classroom that you can follow to maintain your power over the students.

Ways To Manage Your Classroom

1. Use your hand gestures while giving the instructions, such as signaling towards the door to order someone to go.

2. Use an appropriate voice and look in their eyes when you ask them to do something. You cannot expect a student to listen if you have nervousness in your tone or are looking elsewhere while talking to them.

3. Make them redo their mistakes. Instead of just issuing warnings or detentions, you must ask them to rectify their mistakes by doing it right this time. For example, you asked the class to stay in their seats and not create a ruckus in your absence, but the classroom is in shambles when you get back. Then, it would be best to ask the students to clean it by themselves instead of calling any helper.

4. Instead of asking "any questions?" you should ask questions to which the students must answer. This would engage them in the lecture, and they will also be able to analyze the topic they just heard. Prompting questions can be: "what is your opinion about the theme that the author uses?" or, "Can you highlight the difference between the concepts from the last lecture to today's?"

5. Give a time limit to get the amount of work done. If you don't give timeframes for any assignment or solve a sample question, students become relaxed and do not submit work on time. This only delays your work and spoils your effort.

6. Use attention getters to start a lesson. Usually, students cannot concentrate on a topic if it's boring, or they feel lethargic (mainly after recess). It would help if you created catchy introductions for such topics to get undivided attention from students.

7. "3 Before Me" rule. Instead of replying to all the repeated queries about the lecture from each student, you can ask them to use the "3 Before Me" rule, i.e., to ask three other classmates for answers before bringing it up to you. It will also save your time, as you will get feedback about changing your strategy for the topic.

8. Do not hold grudges. Even if they are troublemakers making your job a lot more complicated, you must not hold grudges against the students. The students are the teacher's responsibility and even if they do things to get a reaction out of you, just let it slide. Look for solutions instead of arguing or lowering the grades.

The only way to manage a classroom efficiently is to abide by these rules and consistently work on them. It will bear fruit in no time.

Following Directions Worksheet and Activities

Learning to follow directions is an important skill for all students to master, and by the time students start Kindergarten, they should be able to handle simple 2 to 3 step instructions. Still, the school environment is a busy and exciting one, and even older students can benefit from activities that support listening to, and complying with, instructions. To help, we assembled several following directions worksheets and activities.

This fun pack is themed on characters from Zoo Academy and Zoo U and provides three levels of worksheets that challenge students to listen or read carefully and to closely follow directions in order to complete a task. In order of increasing difficulty:

Owlivia and the Balloons (worksheet): Students will help Owlivia with a coloring project as Miss Castillo asks her to color the biggest balloon blue, the smallest balloon yellow, and the medium balloon red.

On the Playground (worksheet): Just after recess, Ms. Bergstein has asked Owlivia to help put away many toys and tools around the playground.

Joke’s on Zoo U (worksheet): In this logic puzzle for older students, players must use clues to crack a secret code that reveals the answer to a silly joke. Whether you choose to read the prompts and clues out loud to students, or have them work independently, they will enjoy the fun of interacting with the game characters while tuning in their attention.

Following Directions Activity

The second following directions activity is a twist on the classic game Simon Says. Students will follow “Principal Wild’s” instructions to make different movements with their body, such as hopping on one foot or hands on their head, only moving when the instruction is preceded by “Principal Wild says…” To challenge their Impulse Control Skills, a few students will act as distractors, trying to engage students in conversation while the instructions are happening. Students will need to focus intently on the instructions and ignore the distractions to know when and when not to move.

Note: For remote learning environments, this activity may work better if you do not have students acting as distruptors.

Recommended Grade Level: Upper Elementary and Middle School

SEL Skill(s): Impulse Control, Communication

Duration: 30 minutes

Materials: Educator lesson guide

Pre-activity discussion

Talk with your students about it is important for everyone to pay attention and follow directions and by not being a distractor to classmates.

Discussion questions will include:

• Have you ever missed something important in class, like directions, because a classmate was talking to you? If someone is talking to you or distracting you in some other way, and you miss something, is it your fault or theirs?
• Do you think you’ve ever been a “distractor” during class? How do you think the other students felt when you were talking while the teacher was talking?

Even if someone is purposely trying to distract you or make you break the rules, your behavior and how you respond is always your choice. A classmate can make it difficult, but they can’t force you to not pay attention or not follow directions.

Modern Pedagogy, like modern society, is increasingly influenced by digital technologies, they begin to penetrate into all spheres of public life and education, which is an indispensable part of the social structure society most affected by these changes. For this reason, in this environment there is a huge number of new methodologies based on the use of variety of digital innovations. For this reason, we have chosen the topic research on the effectiveness of the use of various interactive digital platforms that can be actively used in teaching children, in particular, when teaching children English.

Relevance the chosen topic is determined, first of all, by the fact that modern teenagers spend most of their lives in the so-called "digital world", so harmonious introduction of computer technologies into the teaching process can be perceived as an attempt to "speak the same language", and therefore will find a greater response and interest. In addition, it is worth remembering that the leading types of memory in children are emotional and figurative, they remember much more effectively information presented in the form of pictures, diagrams, everything that seems bright and unexpected, and interactive worksheets make it the best manner. And finally, we should not forget that due to the rapidly changing conditions of modern life, as well as with the current situation in world, students and teachers are forced to work remotely on a regular basis.

All these aspects influenced the formulation of the object, subject, goals and objectives of our project.

Research object – various variations of platforms for creating interactive worksheets, presented on the Internet.

Research subject – the possibility and methods of using these platforms in teaching high school students foreign language.

The purpose of project is to study opportunities to develop effective interactive worksheets and implement them in the process of teaching a foreign language in high school.

Tasks project:
- to determine the most effective forms of compiling interactive work sheets;

- identify the main methods for the harmonious inclusion of these digital forms of education in the process of teaching foreign languages;

• Microphone should be turned off when the student is not speaking;

• Required observe the established timings: respond to the teacher's requests and not exceed the time allotted for statements;

• Each the student must take part in the discussion: to those who did not say a word for class time, sanctions are applied (for example, to make a report on the topic), and active students are rewarded (e.g. less homework).

• At the end, all works with points assigned must be sent teacher.

3. Preparation

Important understand that when working with a large group you will have almost no room for improvisation, therefore, it is necessary to take into account the timing in advance, how much this group talks, its level and possible force majeure.

On case of the latter, it is desirable to always have some kind of activity ready: in this way you do not let the students stay too long and at the same time show that the extra time at the end Lesson is really not superfluous.

A be sure to give clear instructions before each task so that students as if everyone understood, and did not remain silent and just sat there for five minutes.

Remote lessons - a very exciting process, fraught with a lot of new and unknown! The use of interactive services makes distance learning interesting, rich, high quality and efficient.

I have done work with an unusual designer of interactive sheets of the liveworksheets.com web service. It is a platform for creating interactive exercises, assignments and tests.

During my research revealed the following advantage of this service in that it allows you to turn printed worksheets into live ones. Such worksheets increased my motivation to learn English and also saved my time.

Moreover, it should note that this is an English-language service that contains tasks and exercises on different subjects, so it will be a real find for all teachers, not only for English teachers. Even if someone feels uncomfortable when working with English-language sites, you can use the translation function, supported by modern browsers.

Interactive sheets contain various types of tasks that include audio and video content, multiple choice exercises, questions with open answers (open-answer questions), puzzles and quizzes, so called “drag &drop exercises” (“drag and drop”), exercises on matching (matching exercises), exercises to develop listening skills and speaking.

I discovered this web service during distance learning. I plan to merge students of different grades into groups. For each group, create their own worksheets. notebooks that contain lexical, grammatical, audio and video content.

Summing up this project, I came to the conclusion that working with interactive exercises allows students to consolidate the material, develops skills of individual work and self-assessment.
