You may want to reconsider and not play the lecture
game. Regardless of the content of the lecture the students learn
lecture think.
Instead you could have the students work on in class assignments. If
notebooks are available you could use workbooks

Hi all...
Though I asked you, my on-line
colleagues, before consulting with my fellow adjuncts and faculty at
the institution where I teach, I now have gotten "in-person" feedback
about low attendance and late arrivals with very small classes...and
now I don't feel like such a wimp! The feedback I'm getting is that if
you have only 2 students on a given day, dismiss them early, because
you'll only end up repeating yourself the following week anyway.
Apparently this problem has gotten worse over the past decade, what
with many of our students working two jobs and trying to carry 18
credits. Some in the soc. department are aspiring firemen and police
officers and are pursuing a degree because it's a de facto requirement
for those jobs -- but many such students are not particularly
college-oriented. Of course, that doesn't mean the classes have to
accommodate their attitudes, and I'm
still going to follow the sound advice I got here regarding late
arrivals!
