All the students taught have engaging activities in their lives such as creating heroes, battling foes, exploring worlds, and working with friends. While students' lives may be stressful, they are certainly not unengaging due to the thrilling experiences they can have through engaging in activities on their own or with others. The document suggests using engaging prompts, images, songs, and ICT tools to spark students' interests and encourage collaboration, creativity, and reflection in learning.
