I teach 7th period for Juniors and there is a clear exhaustion with students at this point in the day.  I try so hard to make each lesson fun and exciting for them.  Sometime’s they’re into it, but mostly, they’re just tired and mentally not so present. I teach the same course 2nd, and 6th period and the students are much more engaged then.   I guess this could just be the nature of having a 7th period and being a tired Junior but has anyone been able keep them more connected at the end of the day?
