  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!)
I would try my best to relate the content with real world experiences. High school is a time where students experience a lot. Therefore, engaging students with making connections to the world from the content is a possible way that would allow them to have a more peaked interest in what they're learning.
