My favorite curricular innovation last semester to try get students to pay attention in lecture was to have bingo cards with environmental law terms.. having “BINGO!” randomly yelled out in the middle of lecture all semester definitely made it more engaging and fun.

In the interest of accuracy, I should mention that the "5k ticks per season" datum is inaccurate, based on observations of animals in captivity. But what they DO eat is "literally anything else in your yard that wants to bite or poison you." Spiders, scorpions, venomous snakes, rodents, the works!
