Today in class, we continued our discussion of Module 37: Theories of Motivation (see attachment for PowerPoint). After reviewing the theories of motivation, students revisited the Module 37 worksheet that was handed out on Tuesday, called "Motivation Question of the Day" - see attachment. (the worksheet asked students to write down 2 behaviors that they perform and why as well as one goal they have and why). Students then worked to identify which THEORY OF MOTIVATION matched the reason as to why they performed the behavior. The class shared out some examples.

Students were given a worksheet ("Motivation Group Practice" - see attachment) with 10 behaviors. For each behavior, students had to explain how 2 different theories would explain the motives behind the behavior. See attachment for the worksheet and answer key.

Next, students worked with a partner to fill in the worksheet titled, "Why do we eat? Why do we stop eating?" Students were to look for physiological, psychological, and cultural factors for why we eat/stop eating.
