I find that an effective way to cure many of these challenges is to engage by convincing students to take pride in their work. Students really feed off of teacher enthusiasm and your appreciation for their contributions to class. My students really appreciated the time I took to create and post for their parents and friends a video showcasing the work they did for our science fair this year.
