This is a paper I wrote on how to motivate students in class based on different psychological theories of motivation.

This connects to standard 2A because I used the theories of motivation and sources that talk about how to motivate students and applied them to my practice as a high school English teacher.

I learned various strategies to motivate students, including offering choice, connecting with student interests, and doing tasks that are challenging and interesting for students

This is a paper I wrote on what I believe literature is good for based on the theories of literature I had studied throughout my Senior English Seminar.

The paper connects to standard 2B because I had to study the major concepts and principles of my discipline as an English teacher. 

I learned theories of the uses of literature like entertainment, building empathy, teaching life lessons and I applied them to various works of literature that I have read.
