The document describes several instructional strategies for engaging students, including using whiteboards, response cards in different colors, agreeing/disagreeing activities, true/false games, and question-answering races between teams. It also outlines rules for games like guessing answers without talking, picking questions for other teams to answer, and reducing notes into smaller and smaller summaries. The strategies are presented as ways to make lessons more interactive and fun for students.
