Can you get their attention from the beginning

One of the things that I love to do is have a meal with friends. It is always good to have good conversation with them on a topic that everyone is engaged in. most seem to stop long enough to order their food and drinks. When your food and or drinks comes and someone takes a taste and find that what their tasting is wonderful, it will stop the conversation and a renewed conversation will begin about what it is your are drinking or eating that is so good. that is the same with a teacher. There could be much conversation going on in the class room before the teacher comes in to the class but if he or she is good they can command the attention of the class with out being loud or rude. Educators must find a way to walk into there class and capture the attentions of the students with something relating to the class that is exciting. if you are an exciting teacher you can get and hold the attention of your students.
