What this tool does

Before

"Okay everyone, when you finish up what you're doing, go ahead and start thinking about transitioning to your reading groups, but make sure you've put everything away first."

→

After

"Stop. Put your pencil down. Close your notebook. Wait for my signal. Then move to your reading group."
