Many principles of motivation can be summed up with the mnemonic "TARGET": task, autonomy, recognition, grouping, evaluation, and time. In six paragraphs, describe six strategies—one related to each of the TARGET variables—you might use to motivate students in your own classroom. Illustrate each strategy with a specific, concrete example of what you might do
What will be an ideal response?
The six TARGET variables are described in Table 11.6 . The middle column of the table lists possible strategies associated with each variable; students' responses should describe one strategy from each cell of this column or a reasonable facsimile. Each strategy should be illustrated with an appropriate example.
