The cup that quells


CHRISTOPHER SMY (MaA 85-92) offers a teaching tip:
"It is amazing how good a prop a coffee cup can be… When I am waiting for their attention, I just stand in the same spot at the front of my room, leaning on my filing cabinet with a coffee cup in my hand, occasionally sipping it (if there is any coffee left). It is the most effective thing I have found for alerting them to pay attention. I am unstressed and not shouting"
