I always make my students do all those types of "annoying" things to help them prep for their essay and they are working on assignments.
And they whine for the first couple months of school.
Somewhere around December they realize that doing their assignments actually helps them with the essay and the whining (somewhat) decreases. Getting to December is tough though!!
Lots of great ideas - the students are lucky to have a reflective practitioner as their teacher!
Thank you for the kind words

Glad to hear you do similar things! And getting to December feels longer some years than others.
