It is a struggle to get them to keep their heads up and engaged in the lesson, and even though I have tried to incorporate participation points, questioning, etc. they just do not want to be apart of the class. I get that the subject matter is a bit dry and boring, which is somewhat out of my control - but how can I get these students to care about their own learning?!?!?! Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I definitely agree with the other responses in that you must seem engaged in the material as well in order to get your students engaged. I personally have seen this with certain lessons I have taught and I stumbled across a website called Flocabulary that teaches while rapping. My students absolutely love this and are learning at the same time. Maybe you can try something like this or even looking up other creative ideas that can make even the more "dull" lessons more exciting and engaging.                 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, i believe anything to spice up the usual lesson will work great.

A lot of times students are discouraged because they have no connection to the content and therefor no interest. If you add in something you know they are into, or can see themselves in, then they will want to know more!

I would even suggest making it a competition between classes and have the reward be breakfast food and coffee.
