My CT does nothing for these students and it kills me that they hate the class so much. What can i do to keep them engaged? I don't need them to love the work, i just hate to see them miserable and refusing to do it. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I can relate! I have the same situation going on in one of my classes where the students do nothing and the teacher does not do anything about it. I started to structure my lessons on things the students can relate to and since it is an economics class it was easy to do so. Like basing it off the newest shoes or makeup just things like that, so the students will be engaged in the lesson. Even playing things like Kahoot or review games may help the students want to learn the material. Hope this helps!                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that involving material at the students' interest may help in this situation. Activities and assessments can also be non-formal as Kahoot, like you mentioned. I have also found that some students like to complete role playing and art projects to demonstrate their mastery of a lessons objective.
