What motivates you? It's different for everyone, really. While some people may be motivated by money, others are motivated by praise. Still others have intrinsic rather than extrinsic motivations, and are pushed by characteristics such as being charitable or kind. No matter what the source of motivation, though, you'll find a free printable motivational quote here that can inspire and motivate any student. In order to get the most out of a quote, why not print them all out and have your classroom choose a favorite every week or every month? When they take part in making the decisions for the classroom, they'll have a vested interest in the outcomes of those activities for all involved. Your students may surprise you by coming up with some great motivational quotes of their own. They know how to speak their own language, and many teenagers are more motivated by their own peer group than adults and authority figures.
