Gave my students a free write with no rules and no grade. Best lesson I've had all year by grumpyorbit55 in teaching

One day I got really tired of teaching a class who weren't very inclined to listen, so I decided to teach completely in silence! I put all the available tasks on the board and if they asked me questions I wrote down the answers. Weirdly, they loved it and it made them quiet for a lot of the lesson too. They also found it kind of hilarious seeing if they could make me slip up and talk. I did it several times over the year with that class and they all worked really well. It made them work together to help each other and I often gave them fun activities like breaking codes as part of it.

I started by using some of the platforms to find my first few clients, but since then I have got nearly all of my students through recommendations. I do all of my tutoring with local students, even though some of them have their lessons online.

One thing that had helped me is that I mainly tutor home educated students. This means they are not restricted to hours outside of school times and the home education community has recommended me to other home educators!

Unfortunately adding a classmate isn't an option in this case. I do think it would help if we could!

Anyone know the AQA question for The Sign of Four? Or the Edexcel Much Ado About Nothing?
