    | Start your students on a schedule by beginning
      the day with a quick assignment. These quick morning activities are called
      Bell Work. We encourage the use of Bell Work to start your day off
      right. While your students are working on the Bell Work you have posted,
      you can get "housekeeping items" completed for the day.  In
      addition, they have have a received a signal that says "It's time to
      begin class." | 
  
  
    
      Rules for Bell Work
      
        - Keep it simple. You should not have to write more than a simple
          instruction on the board to have the students get busy.
        
 - Use review as Bell Work.  As a question about the previous
          day's lesson.
 
        - Keep alternative types of bell work handy.  The routine is as
          important as the subject matter.
 
        - Use bell work as a way to include more basic academics in the day's
          lesson.

    Idea 
      
      
        - Keep a ticket out sheet for the entire week, so students only turn
          in one item.
