  Case: Studying before the lesson
Mrs. Hopkins, a US Government teacher, tells her students to study the lessons that they will be going over in class and come up with two questions to ask in class. She tells to her students that if their two questions aren't answered during the lesson in class, they can ask them at the end of the period. Her students that do this continuously score high on all tests and quizzes, whereas, her students that don't do this score lower. What can she do to get all of her students to use this method of studying?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Using a reward system could help the students to become motivated to create these questions as a method of studying. Giving incentives usually helps students to do what is asked. Once it becomes habit you can remove the incentive.

Comments: The "payment" plan can sometimes be tricky to manage and might give the students the wrong idea. This is not a bad idea just not the greatest.
