***How to Get Them Motivated***

I am teaching a reproductive unit right now and we are studying how the hormones work. I had no idea how challenging this would be for me and my students. I explained the hormones in three different ways, which even included flying around the room and singing out the hormones. Even after all of those charades I didn't feel like it was clicking. I have some basketball players in my class and they had a big State Championship game the same day of the hormone exam. I made a deal with the players that if they got an A on the exam I will paint my whole face for the game. Well, their excitement trickled down to every other student in the class. The picture will let you know the outcome : )
