If this is presented as a game and learning tool to check levels of focus and find areas where improvement is needed it will still be motivating. It's all in how it is portrayed by the teacher.Angela Harmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16907923304782800266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903881220203075722.post-43231352623761042202019-01-04T22:21:33.165-07:002019-01-04T22:21:33.165-07:00By curiosity, how students marked "out" ...By curiosity, how students marked "out" reacted at the end of the rehearsal when they did'nt receive a red vine? I suppose they were disappointed. I'm wondering... were they motivated during the next rehearsal to try again and harder? How do you approach/present this so that they don't see this game as "A mistake is bad and it should be perfect the first time"? I think it is a great motivation idea. I'm only thinking and trying to see a way for kids that don't succeed and have greater difficulties stay motivated.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2903881220203075722.post-9118035045209130682014-09-26T22:29:25.457-06:002014-09-26T22:29:25.457-06:00Good luck!
