• “BTT” = Back To Topic. Use if students are straying from their main idea.

• “CYS” = Check Your Sources. Use for students who may not have cited correctly or if they are missing a source.

• “HTH” = Hope This Helps. If you provide guidance to a student, end with this abbrev!

• “ICYMI” = In Case You Missed It. If a student is absent or if they missed a lesson, use this!

• “OT” = Off Topic. Use if students are straying from their main idea.
