Incentivizing homework
Oct. 11th, 2011 07:50 pmJust figured out how to get Trent to work on his Hurricane Preparedness poster:
1. I explained that I would happily help him revise and proofread (he wasn't interested until I pointed out that other people actually pay me to write and he was getting a real deal).
2. I helped him brainstorm cool photo captions.
3. And the clincher: I promised him we'd rewatch "An Engineer's Guide to Cats" on Youtube together if he put in some serious time.
Win!
