This document discusses motivation and learning. It defines key terms like intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. Students share stories about experiences they were motivated to learn. They define motivation terms with partners. The document discusses Daniel Pink's ideas that intrinsic motivation and autonomy are more important than extrinsic rewards. Students take a self-motivation quiz and reflect on how motivation applies to their own learning. They will set goals to improve self-motivation and monitor progress throughout the semester.
