STUDENT MOTIVATION

ZDP- The lesson must begin with something that will engage all students. Find out what their interests are. Make sure you have something to engage them. We must connect to the students. This sets up a relationship between student and teacher and brings the student into a social relationship with the class. This helps them have a sense of belonging- they must be included and be given attention.
