Abstract

Teachers should always try to inspire their students to learn. Sadly, not all students are willing to put in the effort it takes to do so and so teachers have a job to motivate their students. Students need to want to learn, because this will facilitate their learning and make it easier for them to get something out of the lesson. Teacher's have a responsibility to encourage students in a way that promotes understanding and involvement in the subject. Student's effort is directly linked to their motivation. If students are bored by the lesson and feel unmotivated, then this will be reflected in the amount of effort they put into an assigned task. As a teacher I will be teaching High School English. This is a tough class to teach because some students think that they already know English and that they do not need to learn anymore about it. Coming into the classroom with this outlook directly affects how much effort they will put in to my class. It is my job to make English a subject that they need to and should know; to show them that there are many things they still do not know and then motivate them to find out what those things are. Students in high school encounter many different types of text. They will be exposed to narratives, texts that are information based, as well as texts that are expository. While this does allow for a variety of ways to introduce the subject, it also presents the teacher with the problem of how to present them, and which forms of these texts will be most effective together as a whole. By using different types of texts, students do not get bored as easily with the subject as they are seeing it in various ways.
