Also, let's explain that they are on the cusp of creating their first adult identity. They can share some ideas on what they see themselves doing as adults. I'll bet most of them have no idea, so maybe have some ideas to throw out... sports trainer, mechanic, nurse doctor, teacher, banker, flebotomist, fast food. Write the ideas on the board and have them decide which jobs require a high school diploma. Tell them about differences in pay. Ask them if they're not limiting their adult selves' potential right now by their attitude to education.
