Disciplined Set Up in the Classroom

Part of student engagement comes with having a disciplined classroom in the way the class is set up. For instance, In a social studies class, having the objectives projected on the screen or written on the board everyday. Then proceeding to go over them. This lets the students know that class starts right when the bell rings and they need to pay attention in order to understand what is going on for that day. Then I would move to giving a fact of the day or today in history pertaining to the lesson. This always sparks student's interest. Within the lesson I would encourage having the students doing some sort of interpersonal activity or bodily kinesthetic activity, this will keep them the most engaged.
