Is the free time incentive an effective one?

What will be an ideal response?


Probably not. Ms. Wyatt offers it when most students are almost finished with their maps, and those who have been off-task for any length of time won't be able to catch up sufficiently to be in the running for the free time. Furthermore, by offering the free time to only one group, she is encouraging her students to complete the task quickly rather than to complete it well.
