I created a Native American Talking Stick. I used a dowel and wrapped different colored suede laces around it. I attached rabbit fur, feathers, and beads. I printed out some info on the talking stick from the internet. Here's how it works: Students sit in a circle. The talking stick is passed around. You are only allowed to talk if you are holding the stick. Everyone else must remain silent and respectful. I plan on explaining the origin and meaning of the talking stick. I thought that maybe by using this mystical, magical tool from the Native peoples, my students would learn how to be better listeners. If someone has a question/ response to the speaker, they hold up an Answering Feather. I'll let you know how this works out. Any other tricks of the trade for getting students to behave?
