I think it is one of the most important things for a teacher to motivate their students. It gives the students the confidence to know that they are doing what was asked of them and that they are doing it right as well. All you would have to do is assure the student and tell them they are doing well, or they are on the right track with their work. It’s also needed for the teachers to be motivated as well. When a good teacher is motivated, it makes things easier for that teacher to motivate their students. 

    A few days ago i was watching the movie "Freedom Writers" and the teacher in that move has motivated herself to be anything and everything that her students needed from her. once she had shown her students that she was very motivated and willing to help them with anything, the students soon became motivated in their school work and in their lives as well.. I thought this move had an amazing story to it and that it also related to the topic of motivation.
