Instead of simply reading your rules to the students on the first day back to school, let them find the answers to their most common questions.
"Can I Chew Gum in Class?" activity includes 30 questions, written in typical teenage "voices." Here's a sampling of the questions asked:
"Can I Chew Gum in Class?"
"When is it OK to use my cell phone, because I will totally die if I can't use it!?"
"I completely forgot to turn in my essay. Oh well, it's only been a week and a half. I can still turn it in, right?"
"Yo, I'll be dismissed from school early on Friday for football and will miss English class (darn!). What am I supposed to do?"
"I just downloaded this new song from Jason Derulo because he is sooo H-O-T! I can listen to my iPod in class, right!?"
...and many more!
I included my own answers to these questions, but you can customize this handout to fit your needs. You school and class rules will vary, but chances are the same or similar questions will be asked.
Microsoft Word Version - Can be edited to suit your needs.
UPDATED: Newly added Quote/Speech Bubble activity that can be used on the first day or anytime! They can be used for exit slips, bellringers, etc.. For any content area and a wide range of ages.
This can be used for back to school, new semester, a new group of students, or just when you want to refresh your class rules with students.

This is awesome. I love how the questions are phrased. My students will get a kick out of them. Being able to edit the document helps to customize to my school expectations. I'm using this for the start of the new semester.

This was a fun way to review rules with my 6 classes! I had students read most of them, but there were a few that were a few that I thought it best to read myself. ;)

Hi Rose,
We have a school handbook that every student has, but no one ever reads. I also give them a course syllabus with many of the rules. There are also signs posted in the room, hallways, and other areas of the school that they often overlook until they actually are looking for them. They are quite amazed at the sign on the hallway door that says, "No food or drink on carpeted areas." The sign has been there for 10 years. ;)
Thanks for your inquiry & have a great year! -Tracee

Hi Tracee!
I purchased these files and would like to edit them to fit my classroom. When I try to convert the PDF to word, it says that the file is password protected... what should I do to edit the files?

Hi Kayce - You should be able to copy & paste the text into a Word document. Due to copyright restrictions, I can't provide a version in Word for this product. Sorry! -Tracee

I accidentally bought two of this item. Is it possible to be refunded for the duplicate?
August 7, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Yes - and thank you for your purchase, by the way. :) Email info@teacherspayteachers.com and they will gladly refund you. It may take a couple of days for it to go through. Please let me know if you have any problems. Thanks! -Tracee

what do I need to open this file?
July 30, 2012
Tracee Orman (TpT Seller)
Hi Joni - Thank you for your purchase! I'm sorry you are having problems unzipping the file. If you have a PC, you'll need the free download from WinZip (or something comparable) to open a zipped file. There is a link in the help menu and also if you scroll down on my Q&A page. It may also be because the file did not download all the way (it will take several minutes because of its size). You can always try that if you already have the software installed. Tech support can help, too. Email info@teacherspayteachers.com

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Subject Area:
I've been teaching at my current public high school for twelve years, and have a total of 16 years experience. Most of my experience is teaching high school English and journalism classes; however, for several years I taught an art history class. I teach all levels--from honors students to special education students; therefore, I'm constantly modifying my assignments to fit my students' needs.
