Boosting interest of potential 'problem' student(s)
Given that there are only 20 min left, Mrs Ong could ask the students to quickly form groups of 4 (or groups of 3-5 students, depending on their seating arrangements), and ask them to come up with an interesting mind-map/illustration/infographic to highlight the important points of the lesson.
Doodling student - can doodle but in a productive way...
The rest (sleepy/dazed students) can at least take away something from the lesson.

Providing a non-punitive time-out
Giving them a short 5 min break and asking the class if they would like to wash their faces - not specifically pointing out specific students. If the problematic students (the ones falling asleep) do not move, teacher may walk to the student and softly asking them personally if they would like to freshen up.
Leading them in a quick-stretch activity also helps.

Remove distracting objects
Handphone box in the class so that students are not tempted to use their handphones during class - works for small classes with high integrity

Change the pace of activity
Use a pedagogical simulation or skit to teach the topic; have students act out and present to the class their civilisation based on textbook information or research

1. What are the proactive intervention skills?

A) Whole class to stretch, massage each other appropriately or play some reaction time games.

The skill is "non-punitive timeout".
It resets their mind and gets them to refocus on the lesson. Get them away from whatever they were distracted by.

B) To remove the phone and remind student of school rules

"Removing Distractions"

C) Changing the pace of the class activity by playing some games / watching some videos

1. Put in an activity that is more kinesthetic
- create a controlled diversion relevant to the topic
E.g. Teach them a tribal dance from the River Civilisations

- incentive for good behaviour E.g. quiz

2. Alternatively, have a 'half-time talk' asking why they are so tired (show concern, build rapport) which may get their attention back, tell them to try to pay attention just for the last 20 minutes

3.

- change the pace of activities (more hands-on activity/ do seat work)
- remove distracting objects (can make Lai Peng remove it on her own by walking towards her or giving a verbal cue)
- redirect behaviour of off-task students/non-punitive time-out (ask them to take a minute to stretch and refresh)
-  boosting interest of students (given that it's the last two periods on Friday, Ms Ong can plan for more exciting and engaging lessons for this particular class)

- when planning lesson, to include activities to energize/wake students up

-including questions to keep students awake throughout the lesson

- Change the pace of the classroom activities (Given that it is the last 2 periods of the day, students will definitely by very tired after a long day at school. Instead of merely adopting a presentation style of teaching, Mrs Ong could have included a more interactive approach to arouse interests and participation in class so they will not sleep.)

- Removing object of distraction (confiscate handphone and speak to the student after class)

- Establishing rules  (could have set rules such as 'No handphones allowed in class' or 'I will actively participate in class'

- Building rapport ( get everyone's cooperation with the lesson activities)

- boosting interest of potential 'problem' student
