What Motivates You? Motivation Lesson Plan and Survey…

Product description

From the author

In this motivation lesson plan, students will learn about extrinsic versus intrinsic motivation. There is a PPT slide presentation with animation on most slides to support engagement (could be converted to a Google Slide presentation) to learn about both types of motivation-extrinsic and intrinsic.

There are 2 video clips (The Office video clip is cropped so there is no inappropriate language and there is a Secret Life of Pets trailer-both via Videolink.)

There is a student survey as well as an answer score sheet. In this survey students will answer 10 questions in a range of 1-4, where 1 represents "not at all me" and 4 represents "that's totally me."

Students will be able to score their answers with the included answer sheet to compare their responses about motivation.

Included is also a process on how to increase either intrinsic or extrinsic motivational style. Such process involves asking themselves a series of questions (7 questions) to target what they could do to consider strategies for a particular task.

Please review the PPT slide notes for more lesson content and options for delivering the slide content.

In the classroom

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Distinguish extrinsic motivation (external rewards or avoiding external consequences) from intrinsic motivation (internal drive)
Complete the reflection survey and compare the two totals as a snapshot of those responses
Generate personal strategies for boosting motivation when a task feels unmotivating

Teaching tips

Use the two example scenarios (the dog and Stanley) in the slide deck as a quick check for understanding before students take the survey themselves
Have students total their own extrinsic and intrinsic scores using the answer sheet before opening the class discussion, so responses are personalized
Use the closing discussion questions as a bridge to a broader classroom conversation about group work, since one question asks how knowing others' motivation styles can help

Skills covered

Motivation self-assessment — students rate ten personal statements on a 1-4 scale and calculate separate extrinsic and intrinsic motivation scores.
Concept application — students classify example scenarios, such as a dog's or a character's behavior, as extrinsically or intrinsically motivated.
Self-reflection strategy generation — students brainstorm ways to boost motivation for a task using their responses and the demands of the particular task.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

What do students do with their two survey totals?

They compare the scores and discuss which responses reflect external rewards or internal interest. Use the totals as a snapshot of these answers and a prompt for reflection, rather than a diagnostic label or permanent motivation type.
