This year, I've been using Power Teaching, and it has been amazing! You may think that the kids will not be into it at first, but as long as you're enthusiastic and consistent with it, they will love it. Keep in mind that it was originally developed to work with college students, so you may have to adapt it a little. It keeps all students engaged, while having fun and learning.

For general info about Power Teaching, check out these sites:

Thanks. I recently came across a YT video of a 11-year-old girl teaching her classmates using "power teaching" and she was quite impressive! That was the first time I'd heard the term. I'm definitely going to look into it. Thanks for taking the time to post the links :-)

Activities won't solve anything. Talk to them like they are your best friends, this will make them act like they are. Make the subject interesting, with images, video clips, audio clips, any sensorial stimuli other than your voice. Have a funny story that relates to the subject, show them how what are you teaching can be applied in the real world. Only after you've created a strong bond, can you then attempt to engage on other activities with them.
