I will give her a lot of time to respond. I will restate the question in a few different ways. I make every attempt to involve her in the lesson, but she only responds once and a while. How do I ease her anxiety? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) This will take some time. When students are shy they just need to feel some trust and community with you as the teacher. She could maybe have a partner in the class who may help her come out of her shell. Otherwise it will just take time. Keep working with her and you will see benefits. Another option is implementing a reward system for the students. This can get them more motivated and content to participate and do their work.
