walk into the room silently 

don’t talk 

take your assigned seat 

and pull out your notebook

 

copy what’s on the board

I’m putting the timer on 

for three minutes

answer the quick write

 

“What does freedom mean to you?”

in your own words 

I’m coming around with my stamper 

to check your homework 

 

be ready to share

if anyone talks

you’ll be staying with me

at lunch
