<p>I just want to get some ideas on how to capture students attention. I have to do a presentation for elementary students on the teaching profession.
I have some ideas, but more couldn’t hurt.</p>
<p>Teachers catch my attention by having a fast-paced lesson, such as a college lecture for example, because in order to understand the entire lesson, I have to pay close attention to the teacher.</p>
<p>In your case, which is a presentation to elementary students, I suggest:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Try to be funny, but not critical of things</p></li>
<li><p>Say the fun aspects of teaching</p></li>
<li><p>Show them how cool teachers can be! Try to make them understand it isn’t just paying attention to students, but understanding how the student learns, to approach the class in a different manner, but don’t get all intellectual, they are still elementary kids, after all.</p></li>
<li><p>And finally, think about when YOU were a kid in Elementary school, think about what your teachers did to capture your attention, and your classmates.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Lol, I was thinking that. Kids love candy.</p>
<p>When I was in elementary school, I liked stickers, candy, and those scented markers. :P</p>
