I feel like kids really go through this when they get to my grade. I like to acknowledge that they have their hand up, but call on another kid. "Jonas, I see your hand up, but let's hear what Dan has to say first this time."
Could you put him in charge of recording everyone's responses?
So when he's writing a two sentence summary of his thought/response, Suzy can talk... and he can record it, giving Ralph time to talk.
Pair/share. Only the person holding the “talking stick” can speak. You can also put their names on a popsicle stick or a card so that you are drawing a random name to speak. There is also a wheel that spins online. Everyone’s name is on the wheel and it randomly picks a student. After you have a couple people speak, you can ask if anyone else has another answer. This gives everyone a chance to answer, plus anyone can be called on so everyone needs to pay attention
If something like that starts to take hold, make sure to spread the attention around. There's nothing wrong with saying we've heard your point of view a lot lately, let's hear what someone else has to say. With some kids it can be like a mental affliction, and they may not be fully in control of themselves, so that's also something to be aware of. In most cases it's just a matter of someone showing off or not caring what others think, and the behavior can be moderated.
Ask him what he has learned from a few other classmates. Design your discussion to engage all learners to: speak, listen and write reflections. Pair/ share tries to do this, but it doesn’t accomplish all areas.
Do a social contract for the class and get feedback from the other kids. This only works if the majority of the class is conscientious. In my district 75% actively tried to disrupt the class, so that didn't work with the majority on the side of hedonism.
Think-pair-share or other techniques that encourage all students to quietly write down their thoughts. Then they get the chance to share at an appropriate time.
I have students tally participation points on a lamented seating chart with a dry erase marker. The student who tallies gets 2 points for keeping track (shy students love it). Also, your friend when it is his turn to tally may be so busy tallying he slows down participating. Every student can get points. If someone starts to monopolize, I say I need to be fair and let everyone get a chance to earn points. Seems to work. I know starting at the beginning of the year makes it easier, but depending on the class you could probably make it work this time of year. Good luck, I’ve been there…
Have a private meeting with the student to share your concerns. Let the student understand that while it's great to speak up, there are other students who wish to chime in as well. Guide the student to thinking how others are feeling in the moment during the lessons. Remind your student that they're not the only one in the class and you would really appreciate if this does not continue for future lessons.
Only take answers from "raised hands". If he shouts out the answer, ignore and take a raised hand answer, thanking everyone for raising their hands!
He’s definitely impulsive
