https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5 What strategies can we use to accomodate to teens in our class that may not have gotten enough sleep? What ways can we energize their bodies and their minds to help them learn better? How can we better tailor homework assignments to make sure they do not interfere with possible sleep time? en-us 2016-10-29 00:43:34 UTC 2016-11-01 22:55:20 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5/wish/134643828 1. Create plans that allow for physical movement. Often the physical movement will help wake them up. 
2. I think it is important to explain the importance of sleep to students. Provide them and their parents with content emphasizing the importance. 
3. I would be mindful of trying not to create assignments that will force the student to stay up late. Get a better sense of the extracurricular schedule of your students. If you know their schedule is busy, try to create assignments that can be done in class. ]]> 2016-11-01 22:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5/wish/134643828 https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5/wish/134643843 We can organize our assignments so that a portion of it is being done in class. This will make it less likely students will stay up late at night trying to rip through an assignment all in one night. Movement in the classroom should also be incorporated in early morning classes to get students motivated. Possible using upbeat songs could also be used to  get students motivated and awake in the morning. ]]> 2016-11-01 22:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5/wish/134643843 https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5/wish/134643895 We can energize teens by incorporating exercise or movement in our classrooms. Moving around will prevent them from getting sleepy and zoning out, and you also learn and retain more by doing than you do from hearing, seeing, or reading. 
I also think that large homework assignments, such as projects and essays, should be given plenty of time in advance (even though procrastination is sometimes inevitable) in order to avoid interfering with an adolescent's sleep schedule. ]]> 2016-11-01 22:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/wdent001/lxunwit287w5/wish/134643895
