  Case: Engaging High School Students
I am teaching in a High School learning strategies for my internship this semester and many of the morning class students, are not engaged in the content that we are teaching them. 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!)
Try doing the fun activity first. If there is a project or activity. This way the students have something fun to do and then they get to learn all about it. For example if you were doing the butterfly life cycle. Have the students start off by doing the butterfly kit first. Let them grow the caterpillars and watch them evolve into the butterfly. Then teach them about the process they just learned. I was taught this in an educational class. This will engage the students into the lesson. Try it and see!
