Get to Know the Classroom: High School Edition

When you walk in, your first stop is…

• The board/screen for the Do Now or announcements 📋

• Your best friend’s desk to catch up on the drama 🗣️

• Scrolling through your phone until the teacher notices 📱

• Wandering aimlessly until someone tells you what to do 🤷

Being ready for class means…

• Supplies, charged device, and focus 📚

• Just your phone (you can Google everything) 📱

• An excuse for why you don’t have your homework 🤷‍♂️

• Borrowing a pen for the 187th time 🖊️

If something doesn’t make sense, the best choice is…

• Ask a classmate and the teacher if needed 🤔

• Zone out and hope it clicks later 😴

• Say nothing 🤐

• Skip the question entirely ⏭️

When someone’s speaking in class…

• You actively listen and respond appropriately 👂

• Check your notifications discreetly (spoiler: it’s not discreet) 📱

• Start a side conversation 🗣️

• Interrupt with, “Wait, is this going to be on the test?” ✋

Before leaving, you should…

• Save/submit your work, pack up, and reset your workspace 🗂️

• Bolt for the door 🏃‍♂️

• Leave your stuff behind for “future you” 🧳

• Keep working into the hallway 🚶‍♂️

You can always find assignments…

• On the LMS or class site 📚

• On a random scrap of paper in your backpack 🗒️

• By guessing when everyone else is turning something in 🤔

• You can’t — it’s a mystery 🕵️‍♂️

Best place for your bag during class?

• Under your desk or in a designated spot 👜

• Blocking the aisle 🚧

• On the teacher’s desk (bold move) 🧑‍🏫

• In the doorway like a tripwire 🚪

One way to make this class better is…

• Contribute ideas and respect different perspectives 🤝

• Dominate every discussion 🗣️

• Avoid participating entirely 🙈

• Use sarcasm as your only form of communication 😏

Homework is due…

• At the start of class on the assigned date 🕒

• “Eventually” ⏳

• When you feel like it 😌

• After your friends remind you three times 🤦‍♂️

Complete the sentence: “This year in this class will be ______.” 💭
