The Pencil Upgrade((Picture this:))
Johnny comes to class yet again with out his pencil. He comes up to your desk asking to borrow one. You know you will not get it back at the end of class, and you KNOW that he will come back to class tomorrow pencil-less. So you go over to your desk drawer and pull out a brand new pencil! It is a sight to be seen! Perfectly sharpened point and an eraser that has never touched paper. Johnny is eager to receive such a nice looking pencil, but instead of handing it to him, you hold it up in the air and ask the class, "Who wants an upgrade?" You then proceed to give the brand new pencil to a student who has come to class prepared. The student exchanges his or her used up pencil for the brand new one. Johnny will then receive the pencil that was traded in. You now have rewarded a student for coming to class prepared, and provided Johnny with a pencil to use during class. Win-Win! |
