Classwork and Homework

In class today, we talked about motivation and demotivation and how they can affect your language learning (If you want to look at more funny Demotivators like we saw in class, you can go here). Remember that you are in charge of your motivation and how you deal with it. You are the masters of what is important to you, and how you prioritize your life. Here is the PowerPoint that we looked at today in class.

Homework:

• Read p. 183-185, and do Exercise 3 & 4 (Due tomorrow)
• Start thinking about your topic
• What do you want to write about?
• Look at your brainstorming
• Journal Week 5

Journal Week 5 (June 16-20)

As you write this week’s journal, remember the story of Nico Calabria and the effect that demotivators can have on you.

Prompt: Think about the demotivators you face as you learn English. What are some specific things that cause you to be demotivated? Now, describe ways that you can overcome these demotivators.
