| Student Motivation ListAt this time of year many of | | | | Indians |
| our students have begun to loose focus, and interest | | | | Industry, local |
| begins to wane. As a result off-task behaviors begin | | | | Insects |
| to rise and classroom disruptions increase and we | | | | Job interview skills |
| miss out on quite a bit of instructional time as we deal | | | | Jogging/running |
| with these issues.It may be helpful (especially with the | | | | Jumping rope |
| males in your classroom) to take this opportunity to | | | | Jungles |
| build into our instruction some items of high interest.To | | | | Leadership skills |
| that end, I am attaching to this message one of the | | | | Lifesaving, swimming |
| surveys I provide students who have behavior | | | | Martial arts |
| challenges in an effort to find out some of their | | | | Military |
| motivating factors. Feel free to add to, remove or | | | | Model building |
| modify the list as you see fit. Uses can be as simple | | | | Morality, ethics |
| as counting soccer balls instead of oranges during | | | | Motorcycles |
| math class, or building the topics into your writing | | | | Mountaineering |
