    This reminds me of what I did when I first started at my school 6 years ago.
    I wrote ART on the board, and told the students I would erase one letter
    every time they got too loud. If I erased the last letter, there would be no
    art on the board, so there could be no art in the classroom. We would have
    to clean up and spend the rest of the class time practicing being quiet.
    Doesn't take too much of this for the kids to learn.

    > I got a terrific idea from the list.....put up a "NOISE" sign. As the
    > talking level gets high cross out each letter....first the E, then the
    > S...then the I...they have three chances till they get to the word
    > "NO"...this means "No talking" for the rest of the period. It works GREAT
    > with my groups...grade 3--through-8 Usually just putting up the "NOISE"
    sign
    > works before I even cross out any letters.
