Just like a fight needs the bell to get them to go hard at the end of a round, so do students need that finish line. During that break the body and mind re-charge so they can be right back at their best the next round.

Hi Michael:

Another technique that might work is just stopping whatever activity is going on, and ask the group what they think. This fosters discussion and might help wake up the energy a little bit.

I love the idea of a thinking break, I will try this technique in my class!
