If you’ve already been called up, you should have both notes handy to make the hiding obvious.
Some advantages include: A spiral notebook can look like you are sharing notes about the class. It doesn’t tempt others to read or intercept it. It’s bigger so passing it long distances isn’t wise. It’s easy to pass to someone sitting close. It doesn’t scream “note”.
If you have a mechanical pencil, take off the top part (where you usually put in the lead) and put your note in there. Then put the top back on and pass it to your friend. It will seem like you were just lending them a pencil. Alternatively, this also works with pens with caps and removable grips. Just follow the same steps as for mechanical pencils, but keep hold of the removed grip, and pass the pen holding the cap to cover the note.
REMEMBER: Always tell your friend that you are using this method before the class, so they will remember to go and get a tissue.
This method works the best when they are sitting near you but if they’re not, the ball has enough weight for throwing but is small enough to not make a noise.
This works best if the person is near you. You might want to do the decoy note with this as well. If the teacher asks why you are sliding a book, tell them that it was their book. If the teacher checks it and sees that it is yours, then tell them you got confused.
A ripped paper of a notebook is recommended.
It helps to use a post-it, as a full-size piece of paper may not fit.
If your friend sits close to the teacher, they may want to actually break their pencil to avoid suspicion. If your teacher asks what you’re doing, tell them that you’re letting your friend borrow your pencil sharpener.
If your friend is on the right, drop and pick something up from the left. While you bend down to get it, flick your foot and raise your leg slightly. This should also be used on the right side.
If your friend sits farther away, you could crumple the note up into a ball and throw it to him/her/them. Or, you could pass it to another classmate that sits closer to your friend than you do and tell them to give it to your friend. Make sure your friend is trustworthy to not throw the note or tell the teacher.
