Energize Students

Firstly, in order to increase energy in students, we need to recognize that a student's "emotions can affect thinking, attention, memory, and therefore learning" (Zadina, 2014, p.64).

Positive emotions such as "interest, engagement, and curiosity...engage [the frontal lobe] (Zadina, 2014, p.80). There are several ways to stimulate these positive emotions including:

• Providing choices to students

• Playing positive music

• Leading positive stress activities

Positive emotions increase student's memory and attention (Zadina, 2014).
