2 Journal Articles Keklik, I. (2012). Examination of high school students' motivation and learning strategies.

Hacettepe University Journal of Education, 42, 238-249. This article examines how students need to be motivated in high schools. Instead of learning how to globally focus on learning strategies for all students, we should work on making better learning strategies for the specific classrooms that we individually teach. Different students are motivated in different ways; therefore we must be prepared to motivate our individual classrooms in the ways that they need to be motivated. This is going to look different for each individual classroom. We incorporated this article into our lesson plan by motivating our students with games and fun activities because they were coming from a full day of school and would be tired and a classroom setting would not be very motivating to them.
