Reinforcement is a method to motivate children. Delivering Gift for tallented chidren will make a unmotivated student to combitate. Always start each day with attracted things or stories... Link every topics with natural surrounding which is observable by them. 

From my experience, I found working with a group of unmotivated students or an unmotivated individual student on an activity for a special event, for instance to recite a poem  for the school assembly or take part in a play is extremely motivating.Once he recognizes his potential, he will be intrinsically motivated.

I would like to find out the reasons for the unmotivated student. Then I would try to eliminate the reasons. I would create interesting learning/gaming activities for the student with consultation of the unmotivated student. I would prove to the student that I am interested to create better future life for him/her. I would consult parents, other teachers, and experts in the field for planning, not only to motivate the student but also to inspire the student to take charge of his/her own learning. It will take time. It will need also patient, and continued reviewing, testing, planning again and again, providing encouragement and support to the student.

Assess   your student, observe for any  difficulties that she/he   is experiencing, deal with the problem and as much as possible,  include  him/her  in decision making and in choosing alternatives that  will  make him/her  motivated.

You must also assess your teaching strategy,  change  your style  if  needed.
