Active Learning
A Poem by Fred Jacobs
Sit quietly everyone
settle down. Now then
who what somebody when
how anybody where why
if not why not louder
please they can’t hear
you in the back. I can’t hear you
up here either say again if
you don’t mind you settle
settle down now please.
Everyone sit quietly.
Order first or nothing
follows. That’s what rules
are there for therefore
follow o! and don’t forget
to break the rules when
necessary. What they’re
there for only when whatever
you do always listen to
everything I say and you’ll
never go far wrong.
