Will Pay Attention To History Lectures For Money/Food!

Help me give my students an economic system based on merit and accountability. This economy will be backed by the [faux]“dollar” standard, allowing students to purchase “free days,” HEALTH snacks; exempt assignments/assessments. Great for competitive engagement!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Create a monetary value system that will insight student engagement/ insightful responses while covering the boring [to students ofc] US History Lectures.

Sometimes WE all need a little motivation to jump start our creative juices.

This monetary system will inspire students to actively participate with the reward of snacks, device charging, free assignment/assessment.

- Food (price varies) ($1-$5)

- Phone, Headphones, iPad, electronic charge

($5)

- Homework Pass ($10)

- Excused Assignment ($20)

- Excused Assessment ($50)

What is given, can surely be taken away! Students can also lose “money” or go into debt for; excessive talking, disruption occurs, unauthorized cellphone or headphone use, cheating.
