The third-grade teacher whose class is misbehaving should tell them what the assembly is about before going and discuss the who, what, and why of the assembly. By setting expectations of them and telling them points to look for and listen to, the teacher is setting them up for success instead of setting them up for failure. It helps students to know what they are listening for and what is expected of them.
