Constant Engagement

I would like to keep the students constantly engaged. It seems if they are always busy with the work at hand, this cuts down on the discipline problems. It also helps class time to go by faster, especially if you're on the block schedule. I would also like to find creative ways to engage my students. When you take something and make it a real life scenario or relate it to them with something they're familiar with, it makes explaining it and the concept so much easier. When I had a long term, we use to play Jeopardy as a study guide for the test. I would give them the answer, and they would choose what question went with that particular answer. They seemed to like that, but you can't play jeopardy forever. I find, coming up with creative ways to learn new material is always a great concept.
