Assignments with personal meaning
When making or creating assignments for students, include what they like or the time of year into the assignment. When creating a business plan in my class, it was near Halloween, so we created a business plan to operate a haunted house. The students took ownership of each role in the business. How do you keep them going? As the students specifics about their views on different topics.

Good strategy. Thanks for sharing it with us. Shy students are always a challenge so the more ideas we have about how to engage them the better for them and us.

In my Computers Class I did a Power Point Presentation Assignment and the students had to list all the reasons why they were in school and the Profession they chose. Alot of "shy" students really opened up and had fun!
