If you don't enjoy every subject in high school, it can be challenging to concentrate, and you could feel that talking to friends or keeping up with your favourite shows and social media accounts is more engaging. Currently, in the midst of a pandemic, it might also seem hard to concentrate at all.

To study what you need to know and graduate from high school with the credentials you desire to support your future ambitions, it's crucial to maintain your concentration.

Here are some pointers on how to concentrate in high school, whether you're taking classes in person this year, online, or a combination of both. Actually, these advice will be useful to you throughout college and beyond.

With so much competing media and information distracting us, inattention is widespread in our fast-paced world and isn't just confined to youngsters. To establish order, the schedule for the day, and start instruction, the class must be called to attention at the beginning of the session. It's not always simple, though.

5 Tricks to Get the Class’s Attention

Change the level and tone of your voice

Often, all you need to do to get your pupils to pay attention is to just alter the volume and tone of your voice.

Use props like a bell or whistle

Props like this effectively designate beginnings, ends, and other changes within the lesson and are more suited for lower level or younger learners. See this other realia article for further information: Realia: 9 Classroom Activities That Incorporate Real Life.

Use a visual related to the instruction

If the class topic is connected to the environment, holding up a powerful image of environmental debris will draw everyone's attention. Don't make any comments; let the kids open the conversation.

Make a startling statement or give a quote

Similar results can be achieved by writing a startling fact or quotation about the subject matter on the board, such as "More than half of youngsters in California speak some language other than English at home" if the subject is language acquisition.

Write a pop quiz question on the board

On the board, jot down a simple comprehension question about the reading. It must be answered on slips of paper, which the students must then turn in. This immediately focuses students' attention on the course subject. Following the quiz, the question could then spark a conversation.
