QR Chapter 6

This chapter was mainly about what to do to motivate students to learn. It gives good insight into how to keep students from getting bored. The chapter discusses what time of day is best for doing different kinds of work and also what environment is best for the students to learn. One important factor that the chapter focuses on in keeping students from not being bored is that of being passionate about the material one is teaching. For me, one of the key elements of teaching is being passionate about the material. If a student sees that their teacher doesn't care about what they are teaching, then why would the student think that it is important or exciting to learn?
