Why is it harder for the students to continue with this no talking contest at home?

Because most parents don’t like succinct answers.

What does Brian have to do that day after school?

He has to get a haircut.

And what happens to Brian because he can’t talk?

He ends up with a terrible haircut.

Back at school, the principal, Mrs Hiatt, is having a meeting with all the fifth graders’ teachers and asking them about this no talking contest. How do the teachers respond?

Well, Mrs Marlow, the science teacher, doesn’t like it because she thinks it’s a bother, a distraction. Mrs Escobar, the math teacher, agrees. The music teacher also doesn’t like it because she can’t teach the kids songs if they don’t sing.

What about the language arts teacher, Mr Burton?

He still supports the contest because these fifth graders have been driving the whole school crazy by talking non-stop, so he doesn’t understand why the principal wants them to start talking again now that they want to be quiet for two days.

What happens the next morning?

The principal calls a special fifth-grade assembly.

What does Mrs Hiatt do to force them to talk?

She asks Dave and Lynsey to lead the Pledge of Allegiance.

How do Dave and Lynsey respond to the situation?

The entire fifth graders speak with one voice.

What order does Mrs Hiatt make?

She orders them to stop playing the no talking game.

Did they stop?

No. Lynsey continues the game during the math class, and then Dave joins in.

Why does the science teacher, Mrs Marlow, also decides to allow the students to keep playing the game?

Because it doesn’t make sense to force the kids to be noisy again.

What about the music class?

The students reach an agreement, and they decide that singing is not talking. So everyone sings in music class.

What games does Mr. Burton have the students play this time?

He asks them to do a debate by only using three words.

She teaches science.

How does Mrs. Marlow feel about the whole no talking contest?

She doesn’t really know what’s going on at first, but because she’s science minded, she decides to experiment with it.

What’s so unusual about the way fifth graders answer Mrs. Marlow’s questions that day?

The answers are all very brief. They consist of only three words.

Does Mrs Marlow eventually find out what’s going on?

Yes, but she decides to keep quiet about it and let other teachers find out on their own.

Does she like this no talking contest?

No, because she thinks it’s very disruptive.

What subject does Mrs Akers teach?

She teaches music.

What happens to her class that day?

No one sings.

What solution does Mrs Akers come up with for the situation?

She tells the students to just hum and clap

Why is gym class easier for the students?

Because they don’t need to talk. They just need to play dodgeball.

What does Mr Burton teach?

He teaches reading and language arts.

How would you describe his personality?

He’s patient and humorous.

When he figures out that the students are having a no talking contest, what does he do?

He comes up with different games, and one of the games is to tell students to take turns telling a story with only three words.

Why does Mr Burton find the whole situation fascinating?

Because he likes to observe students’ behaviors.

How has this no talking experiment affected the students?

Lynsey realizes that she is spending more time thinking. So does Dave. And they are actually able to communicate their ideas by writing them down. They don’t argue anymore.
