  1. Relying on group work for the end of unit final project
  2. Offering up an extrinsic motivation so that all students complete all assignments
  3. Pairing up low-performing students with high-performing students on certain assignments
  4. Asking students to come up with ideas about why historical events occurred
Explanation
