  Case: Warm Up
I have an issue with students not getting started on their warm up upon entering the class. Instead, I have to prompt the students to begin working. What suggestions, methods, or alternatives are their to starting class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Depending on what your subject area, I show CNN Student News to tie to my social studies lessons. Students enjoy watching the news because it is not just answering a question or solving a problem. However, if that does not work for your class, you might have some sort of grade that goes with your warm up--you could offer bonus points for having a certain number done, a grade at the end of the week that is a class work grade, or giving a quiz where the answers are in the warm ups and if they are completed can be used on the quiz.
