Yea, I think it makes more sense if you put that in your limitation. I don't think it's something you can control.

if anyone still needs a great article on how to create student interest, here is one that I love:

Schraw, G., Flowerday, T. & Lehmann, S. (2001). Increasing situational interest in the classroom. Educational Psychology Review, 13 (3), 211-224.

Because a lot of literature differentiates between cooperative

learning and competitive learning styles. But what I'm thinking is when I contrsuct

cooperative learning activities in groups, there may still be a sense of competitiveness

between groups :S But I guess I can just talk about that in limitations?

So you are looking for a food game for the whole entire class? Because if you split students into groups, they would either compete against people in their own group or compete against other group. Competitiveness is a source of motivation. I think the co-operative ness will come along with group work. How are you planning assess/evaluate the "cooperative learning"?

Does anyone know any foods games that are non-competitive (for cooperative learning)?

Hey Justina, here's an article of why Home Economics is important for boys, it was published last 2012 though! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-lustig-md/home-ec-for-boys_b_2360666.html

Has anyone come across current news/media coverage,

videos/TED talks that would be relevant to boys in Home Economics?

Or the issue of boys feeling pressured to display masculinity? I know it's

unlikely, but just thought I would check!

Michelle, I just found this article for motivation:

http://www.uky.edu/~eushe2/Pajares/03SchunkMeeceAdoEd5.pdf

I skimmed it and it seems like it could be useful...Also, I got a book from the library called "Differentiation for the Adolescent Learner" which has a few pages of condensed info on motivation. I can bring it to tomorrow's class for you to have a look. Hope the article at least gets you started!

articles?
