Taking Breaks
"The number of minutes a student can focus is equal to the student’s age plus two. Adults are not much different from children. They cannot focus for more than 15 to 20 minutes. Ideally we should confine learning activities within those focus minutes and then allow for some movement to redirect the students’ attention so that processing can take place."
