1. "Vacations, school dances and other exciting events, or even great weather also reduce students' motivation to pay attention to homework, projects, tests, and other schoolwork." (page 110)
When exciting extra curricular activities or circumstances beyond the teacher's control happen students are going to be distracted.
2. When things like this happen the teacher should try and turn whatever is going on into a teachable moment. Try and include it into your lesson. Doing this will allow the students to concentrate on the subject for a brief while and get "their fix". This way the students will be able to get the jitters about the event out and the lesson will be able to go on with the lesson without many interruptions about the circumstance.
