Put things into pictures especially if you are figuring out math problems.  I always draw a picture.  It helps me understand and I'm not even a good artist.  Sometimes it is easier to remember a picture of information than just little pieces.

First of all, make it fun for her. Best way is to make a board game or fun flashcard or something like that. Then, promise her to do something fun with her if she stays on task and pays attention. Make ocational test to see her progress, but dont make them long. Last, the "lesson" should be no more then 20 min.

How about how to start a revolution. \nYour teacher would love it if you start quoting Revolution for the Hell of it by Abbie Hoffman. You could also play some 60's music. I know that sounds dumb but it seems cool to me.

Group work, hands down.  Students learn more from each other than they learn from lecture.  Give assignments to groups (even just simple worksheets) and have them turn ONE in for the whole group.  Never let the groups grow beyond 5 or 6 members and assign the members randomly to their groups.  You'd be amazed how much they learn from each other and how much they enjoy and retain the material

I think it's a good idea to get a project plan together instead of what some of the other writers said, leaving it open ended...not good with low motivated students.\n\ncooking is great. \n\nHow about art/math: a snowman project can teach fractions. One half the lump of clay is used for the "big" part of the snowman. One fourth the lump of clay is used for the "middle". One eighth the lump of clay is used for the "small" part, etc. \n\nMake a movie where students teach a concept. They write the script and act/demonstrate.\n\nWork on persuasive writing by illustrating and narrating a movie that trys to convince their audience.\n\nIf you could have and authentic audience ( ie post movies on website) it would increase their level of motivation.\n\nWrite a rap song about a curricular topic.\n\nSounds like your kids will have fun.....go for it!

Role playing is a good technique.\n\nYou can use informal writing at the beginning of class to determine preconceptions students hold about a topic and then have them share their opinions.\n\nCrossword puzzles can be devised and used to help your students learn the vocabulary of the subject.\n\nStrive to create a warm and open atmosphere and mix in a little humor.

Make as many power point presentations as possible. \n\nAlso, use the board to write out things you want them to learn and remember. One teacher I used to evaluate used to put an outline of the day's lesson on the board and followed it closely. That way the students knew what the points she was going to cover were, and they were able to see where they were in the lesson by looking at the outline. This technique was also valuable to absent students because other students in the class had notes in the order they were given and discussed.\n\nIn my own teaching, I used to agree very much with Ted Sizer and his theory of student as worker. My students were required to give 6-7 oral presentations in groups of 3-5 by blind draw. In giving the presentations, they were required to create visuals and to use them as they presented. They were taught to organize and use their visuals in such a way as to eliminate the use of notes. Each group was given a set of questions to respond to, all of which required research and extensive reading. This was a visual and oral activity for the most part and was very successful in that the students learned much and enjoyed the process as well. \n\nGood luck. I hope this helps.

making a game out of your lesson

Do demonstrations! For volume, for example, you can show a cone has a third the volume of a cylinder with the same radius by pouring water from a cone to the cylinder. Most students guess that the volumes are about the same and it's a demonstration that sticks in their minds. \n\nAnything outside of the classroom is great (if you can do that). Interactive stuff is always good. Get them to estimate the area of the basketball court or other playing surface. Or figure out how many people you could fill your classroom with if they were all lined up lying down.

How about writing about the problem of choosing a topic for your composition?  You could discuss how you used this site to help develop a topic and other ways you brainstormed topics...depending on the sense of humor of your teacher, and the specifics of the assignment, might make for a perfectly creative composition.\n\nGood luck.

I'd simply use a table, however if you want to get very detailed, you could use the Word Drawing tools to do this same thing
