I know at times I am too "soft" on the students, but I want the students to learn and enjoy the experience. I do not want to beat them over the head with "extra" work which many times is what taking Honors means. What are some ways I can rise my rigor without it just being extra work? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Have you thought about having your students discuss topics by using Socratic seminars? That would force them to use their higher order thinking skills and it's highly engaging.
