Motivating students in the morning that work the night shift.
Starting my class at 8 a.m. makes it difficult to sometimes get the students involved and motivated to start learning. One thing I like to do is to get them laughing a bit. I find that this helps wake them up a bit and tends to get them focused on what I will say next. I do not embarass them by any means, but I like to get everyone involved in some way or some how.
Hi LaTonya,
You are clever to invovle movement into your lessons to help energize tired students.

Hi Marc,
Begin your morning with an activity that involves movement like drawing an activity on the board, divide in groups and have bell assignment for group reps speak on subject.
Hi Marc,
Humor is good for all. Nice way to break the ice.
