  Case: Middle School
I have students who constantly refuse to participate. 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!)
First of all make sure they know that participation counts for maybe 30% of their grade. Next you have to call on them,so you are engaging them if they don't want answer the question call on a classmate by say something along the line " who wants to help student X with the question" etc.

Comments: I don't necessarily agree with this entire solution. Although, I do think it could potentially be beneficial to let students know they are graded on participation but I don't think it should be the main motive to get students to participate.
