Part 2. Kounin Section.

Tables and chairs should be rearranged so that all the students are visible to the teacher.

Pen pal activity will be introduced. The teacher will not turn her back to the students. "OK class, it's pen pal writing time so grab a sheet of lined paper and a sharpened pencil, and start writing!"
 * Scene opens with students sitting in front of teacher at the front of the classroom. Teacher introduces writing activity:**


 * Cheers from students A and B.**
 * Students get their materials and settle down to write, student C takes her time, getting her stuff together.**


 * Teacher**: "Jacqui, where is your paper?"
 * Jacqui**: "Oh I forgot it."
 * Teacher hands Jacqui some paper and says**: "Here you go, now get started, we've had a busy week at school so you should have plenty to write about."


 * Teacher goes back to the front of the classroom.**


 * Teacher stands in front of class and says**: "Don't forget about our excursion to the Zoo, that should give you lots of things to write about."


 * Noise in classroom increases because Jacqui is mucking about, talking about Footy and distracting student B (Lisa).**


 * Teacher**: SShhh, it's quiet time now, you should be writing not talking! I will write some useful words and phrases on the board to get you started."

Jacqui will not be engaged. She will be a little disruptive. Jacqui : "Jenni, did you see Buddy's goal on the weekend? How good was it! Did you watch it on telly? I went to the game! At Lunchtime I'll show you how he did it."


 * Teacher goes to write on the board, but notices that Jacqui is still not engaged so goes over to find out what is going on.**
 * While teacher is talking to Jacqui the other students get a start gossiping about their weekend and talking about how Jacqui isn't doing her work.**


 * Teacher:** So Jacqui what are you going to write about this week?
 * Jacqui:** I don't know. I forget how to start it.
 * Teacher:** Jacqui I am about to write some helpful words up on the whiteboard about our excursion to the zoo. Perhaps you could use those as a guide."


 * Teacher goes to the board and starts writing, while keeping an eye on the students.**

**Dear Pen pal,** **How are you?** **This week we went to the Zoo...** **gorilla**


 * The teacher will make a point of roaming around the classroom.**

Jacqui will not be engaged. She will be a little disruptive. Jacqui : "Hey Lisa. Who does your penpal follow in the footy?"


 * While the teacher is addressing Jacqui's behaviour, the other students in the classroom begin to act up but the teacher nips this in the bud as she has eyes in the back of her head. (teacher displays her 'withitness')**


 * Laila:** Tells off other students...not sure what you want to say here laila.

Students settle down, but Jacqui will not have any work completed and is unwilling to do the same activity which they must do every week. "I don't want to write to my Pen Pal. Laila doesn't even like football. She told me she doesn't even follow a team. Like come on, how could you not!"

The teacher provides the students with a different way to complete her pen pal activity such as cutting out articles from the newspaper about the Hawks last game to send to the pen pal.
 * Laila:** add your words here Laila- about what you want to say to me about trying to get my penpal (whose name I have made Laila... :D) to be a hawks supporter.
 * Jacqui:** Oh thats a great idea, Miss Contini. I am going to tell her to get a membership.

The class quietly completes their activity and Teacher finishes writting words up on the board.
