 * school isn't about rewards. School is your job, your teacher has the expectation that you do your job. Regardless of receiving a reward, the student should be expected to do their job.
 * Some people are not negatively motivated. I personally am not at all motivated by punishment. Reward is a subjective measure, I would only be motivated by a reward if I were personally very interested in it.

Repeat to Remember: This rule or the idea of repetition is very relevant as I am teaching a group of students about the research process. In order to learn all the steps of going through research, it is essential to repeat the process several times to ensure long term retention of the skills taught. Although I change what information we find in each lesson, how we collect the data from that lesson remains the same.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to make a graphic to show the repeated steps of the process to ensure that students know the process is a concrete skill they can employ.
