The Art of Paying Attention

"What do we do when we finish?"- This question will probably haunt me for all eternity as it's one I hear all day, everyday. It haunts me because I ALWAYS explain in detail what should be done when one might finish whatever we are currently working on. Usually "what you do when you finish" is accompanied by a worksheet or a map already sitting on a students desk so you think that'd tip them off. And yet, without a doubt, one or two students will ask that dreaded question. In one class, it's the same girl every single time. When she says "what do we do when we finish?" I want to scream at her...HOW ABOUT PAYING ATTENTION?!

but that's not nice, so I don't.
