  Case: Group Work
In a high school literature class we do a lot of reading. I've tried reading aloud to the students, having them read in pairs, having students volunteer to read, but I still have students that will not read regardless of the strategy. Any suggestions of strategies that work for students who won't read by themselves, don't pay attention when others read, and goof off in groups?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Have students answer questions that go along with the chapter. If they don't read, they will not do well on the assignment and that is their consequence.

Comments: It doesn't give a reason for students to read. It's kind of a sink or swim solution that doesn't encourage students.
