My Project
Donating prizes for students can be a great strategy to boost classroom participation and motivation. I love it when my students participate in discussions and ask questions. However, this has been very difficult since the pandemic. Students are very quiet and would prefer to work alone.
I would like to provide many rewards and prizes that will motivate students to participate in class.
You would be surprised by how excited high schools students will get for winning prizes such as candy, erasers, pencils, and key chains. I am also looking for new ideas and techniques to improve the engagement and rigor in the classroom.
