[MOSAIC] Students who need to try

I teach middle school.  Every year I have some students who would rather have 
me do their work.  They don't seem to want to work with the material themselves.

When I have said something like, "I know you can do this.  Give it a try," the 
student usually gets more stubborn about being unable to do the work.

Does anyone have specific ideas about the words to use with middle school 
students?
Thanks!
Jan
