As we enter the fourth marking period I would like to come back to an old blog assignment.  This time please read Phase II:Maintenance.  Answer the following questions in about one page.  Please submit your work to turnitin.com.

1.    What recent class activity is similar to some of the things mentioned in second phase of motivation?  What is the connection between the article and the activity?

2.    Would you consider yourself as someone who holds on to everything?  In relation to the article how can this later help us?  Being honest, why do you go back to these things?

3.    In terms of stimulation of ideas, would you consider yourself internal or external?  Give an example of such a situation.

4.    Finally, I mentioned in class that I personally love a challenge and often succeed very well in those types of situations.  Looking into your own future (college), do you see any normal everyday problems becoming challenges?  What will be missing in the future that you have now that makes it so challenging. (IE. If I moved out I would not be able to cook because I depended on my mother for that). Name and explain at least three.
