Intrinsic Motivation in Kohn's Article. Katya Bacani, Ryan Floyd, Aly Zuasola, Isaac
Kohn describes intrinsic motivation by stating that when children are invited to ask questions, it inspires them to find answers which leads to enthusiasm. In this process, as the students are asking and answering their questions, teachers are able to encourage and aid in finding what the students are interested in. Duckworth claims, "b y inviting their questions, we unleash the power of intrinsic motivation because all of us tend to develop more enthusiasm for, and ultimately become more skillful at, pursuing questions about which we’re genuinely curious than those handed to us by someone else." ( Whose Asking, par. 2) Through this quotation it is clear that with intrinsic motivation comes a student and teacher participation. In order to be inspired, it is essential that the student is always thinking of ways to question in order to in turn, find the answer to their curiosity.

I value this picture because I love my parents. This was taken when we were all much younger (obviously lol) but I think it captures my parents personalities very well. My mom is a very happy outgoing woman and my dad is more kept to himself, he's a very intimidating guy. This picture is important to me because it is a picture of me with my softball team at Arizona State university. This is the first college I ever went and visited. It was after this visit with my teammates that I decided I wanted to play college softball. And I decided playing at a school as big as ASU is not what I wanted, I wanted a much smaller school that would feel like home to me. This picture is important to me because these are my siblings. And although we fight and don't always get along since I have moved far from home, I have realized that they are the two people I have come to miss the most. Me and Alexis both chose pictures of our families and siblings, but ...
This last week I have done a really bad job with time management. I have been falling behind in my math assignments. I have also been struggling a little with this essay, It's been my most difficult write this year so far. I need to set more time aside to work on it and really put in a good effort to perfect it. I feel my rough draft is just that, rough. Besides my poor time management I have done a pretty good job with the workshops, so far I have only missed two. We do 5am workouts so I really struggle with getting up on time to get to the workshops, but I find them to be helpful for the most part so I will definitely be attending the required amount to receive full credit. I felt the Call to Action day was kind of eh. All I had to do was make goody bags for the elementary students that came down to visit us, during the actual activities I found myself to be useless and extremely bored because I had already completed my job.
I did a project in High School where we had to choose a group of nonconformists and how they played a part in how the world is the way it is now, I chose the beat movement and City Lights is a book store based off of this movement. Kinda funny how I am from Idaho and I'm now here in this City its a small world.
