My Project

This project is centered around motivating students to participate in class. This includes a mic to 'spotlight' participation, and prizes, where students can have a mic to share their answers.

As students can be a bit hesitant in sharing their answers and opinions, using these incentives can help them view participation as fun and enjoyable.

Using the chalkboard material, students can write the answers using excellent neon chalkboard markers. Additionally having stickers, snacks, and a chart that shows students' participation points can be a key component in motivating students to participate
