Word search

For long muscle terms and medical conditions works for students with language difficulties. They see the word over and over and if written, it often helps with the spelling by the end of the term.

student attention

Eyes rolling, yawning or sighing in class is an indication I am losing the class. I switch gears and have class interaction by way or hands on, debates or rolls playing. Energizes the class, problem solved.

student cheating

I find cheating is a reaction and not an action. Due to lack of time, study habits, sleep or deadline, students are forced to make the hard choice to cheat. To prevent this, I have all things off desk, every other seat and pen only. When the correcting is done, any below a 75, warrants a visit/call to discuss low performance. Then the solution can begin.
