What activities do you use to encourage passive and "too cool for school" teens to participate in class?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

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:

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.
