Time for a class meeting.
I agree time for a class meeting. You can also give them choices for the assignment and books they read. Or pick one book and they pick an assignment.
Me too!!!! Nothing creative I do is good enough. They literally want to do nothing and for me to leave them alone.
I think that switching curriculum is unwise and sets a tone that students do not need to learn to adjust and adapt. These same students may be entering high school and the college with the expectation that they can design their curriculum. That's an expectation that will set them up for failure. I do believe in offering some choice in projects, however. Also, offering audio to help move the novel along can help. Finally, check out the test scores for these students. Academically they may be struggling and need other interventions.
I agree with the above posters. Have a heart to heart with them to find out what's really going on. I also suspect it's one or two students who are influencing and leading the others toward negativity, so I'd have a chat with the ringleader privately to find out why. it might be because the student is struggling/bored. find out fresh ways to engage him.
In the real world we have to work. I would say sorry not sorry!
