How can I get the students to listen to me while I am trying to give instructions? Is there any type of incentive to give the students if they listen? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think students should have to earn these amenities, not be rewarded with them. Docking points for participation or giving punishments like lunch detentions might light a fire under your students. Rewards like candy will only encourage the students to get quiet for the reward, not to pay attention to the class.
