Johnny Substitute = Johnny Spoiler!

I saw X-Men 3: The Last Stand at midnight on Friday; therefore, the solution for my classroom management problems on Friday was simple. This idea was inspired by both me and my friend, Joe. I told students at the beginning of class, "For every five minutes that we get off task from completing our goal, I will write the name of an X-men character who dies in X-3 on the chalkboard. So if you don't want to know who dies in the film, I suggest you get your work done."

A couple students goofed off so I revealed the name of a deceased X-men member. **SPOILER** My students weren't pleased to learn about Scott's untimely death. For the rest of the day, I didn't have any problems.
