  • Weather
    Yeah, it’s a bit cliche but sometimes it works well! What’s your favorite type of weather? What do you like to do on rainy days? What is the best thing do on hot / cold / sunny / windy days? What’s the worst storm you’ve been through?

  • Checking With Chimes: In order to teach students to monitor their attention to task, set reminders at random intervals on an electronic device, such as a smartphone or kitchen timer. Time intervals should be set based on the student’s attention span and the pace of the lesson (typically 3 to 5 minutes). When the tone sounds, the student charts or marks whether she is engaged in learning. A simple yes or no checklist works well. Students can monitor their own behaviors by giving themselves points or checkmarks for appropriate behavior. Extra points may be awarded when student and teacher ratings match. The student could then chart her score using a computer program, tablet, smartphone, graph paper, or poster board.

    Description is the pattern of narrative development that aims to make vivid a place, object, character, or group. Description is one of four rhetorical modes, along with exposition, argumentation, and narration. In practice it would be difficult to write literature that drew on just one of the four basic modes.

  • Children with ADHD require specific and frequent feedback and/or reinforcement immediately following the demonstration of desired behaviors. When students are learning new behaviors, it is generally important to reinforce close approximations first as a way to shape behavior. Once a behavior is established, the frequency of reinforcement can be gradually decreased. Students with ADHD tend to quickly lose interest with repetition, so a variety of easy-to-implement reinforcers should be considered.

  • Problem solving
    In addition to the potential of increasing your business you can often find solutions to your own business problems or needs by networking. For example, if your business needs the services of a bookkeeper, accountant, or lawyer you may find the ideal candidate via networking, or if your business needs equity financing for startup you may be able to find an angel investor or venture capitalist through networking channels.
