I have gamified my classroom, so students can earn a certain number of points by going above and beyond in their History Day projects and class in general. As they earn points, they can turn in the points to level up and earn various prizes or use flexible seating. This gamified system and these rewards serve as external motivation for all students, but especially those who struggle to complete schoolwork. They see a prize they want and will work to earn the points needed to buy it. With more prizes like treats, books, games, notebooks, and small toys for their hard work, they will be even more motivated to earn those points and increase their learning.
