At the beginning of the year, I ask my students how old you have to be before you can write like a pro? Do you like Goosebumps? and then I show them this interview of R. L. Stain and emphasize he started at 9 with the purpose to be popular at school.
Other times is difficult to get students remember something. But if you find something related to them, like hip-hop, they even remember how to prepare for TAKS test.
Finally some times I use humor to show students that in formal and informal tests, the tester wants to trick them, so they have to be careful, use what they know, and believe in themselves.
