Plutchik's believed there were 8 basic emotions and also 8 more advance emotions. He expanded his idea to the wheel of emotion when he add the idea of mood. Our emotions are thought to come from different parts of our body but in all truth our emotions all come from limbic system of our brain. Our basic emotions don't involve any conscious input on our part so some believe that emotions aren't from the mind but our body.

This video has some really good points for us to think about and consider/

[] This is a cute little video that presents several motivation theories in relation to the classroom. They address several of the motivation theories read about in the chapter. They present the expectancy-value theory, self-efficacy, and self-determination theory (SDT). In regards to SDT, they give information on the needs associated to it. They address the importance of competence, autonomy, and relatedness as it relates to SDT. The video also tells what else teachers may try to help increase motivation. Some examples of what teachers can do are: encourage self-regulation, encourage student input for classroom procedures, assist in setting and monitoring goals, demonstrate positive expectations, model excitement for learning, create a safe environment, and challenge students. I thought it was a simple but nice video to watch.

[] Goal Setting: A Teacher and Student Journey This is a video from Natrona County that tells about the training teachers went to on goal setting to help in raising student achievement through goal setting. Teachers were trained in goal setting for their classroom and then trained to assist students in setting individual goals. Teachers use a goal setting wheel and follow five steps: 1.) test results, 2.) students set goals, 3.) plan of action, 4.) reflection, and 5.) adjusting and setting new goals. The wheel (which would have been nice to see up close), helps teachers to look at accomplishments, see where they are, and where they need to go. The video gives several examples of how this can be incorporated into any subject. It also gives examples of how to track and monitor goals, for example, charting, using placemats to show growth, and using a bullseye. I thought the video was interesting and it peeked my interest in the training.

The above video is quite short but is very interesting. It depicts a young man with no limbs and he is talking to a group of school children and showing them the importance of getting back up when you get knocked down.

This short video is a perfect example of Attribution Theory. The video shows how one student doesn't see the connection between working hard and academic achievement. Very short but good for a short example.

This is a 5 min. cartoon type video that is about Bandura's Self-efficacy theory. He describes self-efficacy and defines it. He says there are 4 sources of self-efficacy: 1.performance attainment, 2.vicarious experiences, 3.verbal persuasion, 4.physiological states. The video explains how repeated successes increases self-efficacy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWo7F5zcObM&feature=related This final video is based on Albert Bandura's Self-Efficacy theory as the one above. It is really more motivational as it is narrated by music and has many motivating pictures. I think it is more for entertaining purposes with a slight focus for learning.

This is my final extension and it is really more motivating for teachers than anything. I thought it may be a good time in the semester for it.

My first link questions the extrinsic motivation of Cash For Grades: [] What do you think? Should students get external motivators? Some? None? Here is a Q&A with one of the authors of Freakanomics about incentives in the business setting- it definitely applies to education: [] Here is another bit about incentive systems and the schools. I chose this clip for two reasons: (1) it's a freakanomics but about motivation and schooling, and (2) the high school shown is near where I was raised: []

This link is for a web page by Karin Kirk about motivating students. It provides a step by step guide for motivating students and contains links to academic papers on student motivation. It also contains an informative chapter on motivating students from the book //Tools for Teaching// by Barbara Gross Davis (Jossey-Bass Publishers: San Francisco, 1993). I think that this website is really informative and will refer back to it in the future. 1) http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/affective/motivation.html

This is a short presentation on motivation (in general) and common mistakes for intrinsic motivation. The author looks at the size of gaps between one' current reality and desired goals. This presentation is really an examination of the size of gaps and their crucial role in motivation. 2) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnMd465bA5Y&feature=related

This is a video on learned helplessness. In it a professor gives the same anagram activity we had to do. It was funny to see some of the reactions of the kids who had the impossible words. They also came up with social examples of learned helplessness.

This article is about learned helplessness, and explains the dog shocking study by Martin Seligman. It also points out different forms of helplessness like women staying in abusive relationships, hostages not trying to escape, and my favorite, not voting.
