9. Ms Williams adopts the Six C’s of Motivation in her classroom. Her students
work in groups publishing a newspaper in English.
Ms. Williams lets the group choose the topic for their stories; they take
control, and collaborate together.
The teacher helps the students construct meaning by relating the project to
the real world.
Students are motivated because the newspaper will be published.
