I teach Earth and Environmental Science to High School students in a high needs, Title 1 school. My student population is roughly 90% African American. I struggle keeping my students engaged and on task in the classroom. I have the usual High School distractions, cell phones, hormones, short attention spans, etc. Some days it does not take long before my students have checked out mentally and are no longer with me and the lesson I am trying to teach. I am desperately searching for any way to keep my students engaged so they are with me.
