This week, we learned how we form and store memories, how we process information cognitively, and how motivation guides our behavior. With all this new knowledge, what suggestions would you give to a student who is experiencing "spring fever" and is having difficulty concentrating on school work and does not seem to have the motivation to do the work during the remainder of the school year? Be as creative as you would like. For this discussion, you may create a brochure or Powerpoint presentation.

These points can be used to make a powerpoint presentation:-
Expand the classroom beyond its walls, with outdoor activities and field trips. r Visit educational points of interest. Activities could include:Nature hikes;School or park beautification;Lessons in agriculture at a nearby farm;Reenactment of historical events
While in the classroom, burn off pent-up energy with activities that get students out of their seats:Group projects and live presentations;An exercise physiology lesson (increased respiration, heartbeat, etc.);Reenacting scenes from books or plays;A game of "concentration," with students acting as both the cards and the contestants.
The more creative and unique the project, the higher the engagement level. This is also the students' chance to get creative, by trying a mock court case;Making a movie ;Providing coverage of local or mock news stories;Building or designing a structure;Creating a treasure hunt using clues from past lessons.
Planning shorter assignments,will give lots of variety, and lessons that incorporate a little fun for the student.
Capitalizing on students personal interests and look for projects with relevance in their lives. Let them customize their end-of-year project and express their creativity which will help overcome spring fever.
Plan plenty of review sessions at the end of class so that students can see the relevance of what they are learning as well as the progress they are making.
Allow more wiggle breaks when students are restless. A thirty-second stretch break every now and then is preferable to a loss of thirty minutes caused by distraction and boredom.

What would you say to these students? Why would you say so?

Although contracts are generally enforceable, last week we learned that there is an exception to this general rule. In particular, the law will protect minors from the enforcement of contracts that may not be in their best interests. As such, business may not be able to enforce contracts that they enter into with minors. Does this seem fair? From whose point of view?

Knowing that tobacco exposure is highly preventable, the government has already taken steps to attempt to decrease tobacco exposure. However, these measures have only been somewhat effective and we continue to see a rise in tobacco-related illness. Do you think that cigarettes and other tobacco products should be made illegal – or do you believe this infringes on individual rights? Be sure to support your stance. 2 APA citation
