Ms. Burns,

I am a student teacher in the States, working soon with Middle School students.  Do you have any ideas from your knowledge and studies of how to engage students into learning?  I have my B.S. in English, and trying to incorporate what I have learned into understandable lessons for students has been difficult so far.  Any ideas?  I would love to hear some suggestions on how to engage pre-teens and teens in classes, but also what activities may be successful.  

Thanks.
