Make Things Relevant
No matter what the class, even history, you can make things relevant for the students. Don't stick with the same boring word problems the books have been using for eons. Change the names/ places of things that makes the students want to participate. Give them writing assignments they'd actually enjoy. have them do a small project on the history of their favourite TV show or movie.
The possibilities are endless, and the more students recognize that everything can relate to their lives, the more apt they will be to actively participate (and maybe enjoy) the material.
