The students walk into class and put their heads down and sleep the whole time. She dosent try to wake them up. What can you do as an intern to make the students stay awake during class? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I have been there, and let me tell you that there is not much you can do as a teacher. The teacher probably did try keep them awake, but gave up at one point or another. I would try to make the class more engaging and loud to see if they will participate.
