The school that I work at is a title 1 school, which means that the majority of the students that attend are from low income families. The school tries to accommodate the teachers as much as possible; however, that has become very limited lately. Some of the students are eager to learn and grasps on each learning activity incorporated. I have observed that many of my students who are not motivated will not learn effectively. They won’t retain information, they won’t participate and some of them may even become disruptive. A student may be unmotivated for a variety of reasons: They may feel that they have no interest in the subject, find the teacher’s methods un-engaging or be distracted by external forces. This is how most of my students come to me and as and educators, I am constantly searching for activities that will incorporate "fun" into the lessons. This task has become necessary when working with title one students, which from experience always yields positive results.
