Classroom Motivation Techniques and Student Challenges

Josh motivates students with extreme challenges to improve their vocabulary.

### Classroom Motivation and the Pocky One Chip Challenge
* 🎓 In a light-hearted classroom setting, the teacher addresses the students about their performance, specifically mentioning one student who has **mastered fewer words** than others.
* 🔥 To motivate this student, the teacher presents the infamous **Pocky one chip challenge**, a chip that has been **banned due to safety concerns**, humorously implying it could **reduce grading workload**.
* 🏆 The teacher shares exciting news about the class leading in the vocalo competition but warns that some students are **not contributing to their vocabulary work**, which could **jeopardize their success**.
* 📄 During parent-teacher conferences, the teacher notes that many parents signed permission slips without fully reading them, particularly a clause **allowing the use of various motivational techniques**.
* 🍬 The teacher calls out two students, Natalie and Josh, for not completing their vocabulary assignments and offers them **Barnett's mega sour candy** as a humorous consequence.
* 😝 Describing the candy, the teacher compares the experience to "**chewing on a 9-volt battery**," emphasizing the **extreme sourness** to engage the class in a fun way.

Hey you guys, listen up. Take a look at the leaderboard. You will see that we are indeed in first place in the vocalo. That is great news, but it's not all sunshine and rainbows because there are some of you in here who have not been doing your bucking vocab, and you're weighing us down. You might have seen me at parent-teacher conferences this week. I had permission slips. Most of your parents signed it, but they didn't read it carefully, and I bet they didn't read article F, section 3, which says I am allowed to use whatever I deem necessary to motivate, persuade, or punish students, including but not limited to gastrointestinal techniques. There's three people in here that have not been doing their bucking vocab. Two of them, I want to come up here right now: Natalie, Josh, get up here. Okay, here I have Barnett's mega sour, the most sour candy known to mankind. Take one and eat it. What? Let's go. It's like chewing on a 9-volt battery, isn't it?

Josh gra. We also put that back in your mouth. We also have a student that mastered less words than any other student on campus. For that student, I have the Pocky one chip challenge chip. Now, this chip has been banned. You can't get it anywhere because I guess some kid ate one and died, right? So this might end up just being one less paper than I need to grade after this. All right, so Benji, this is for you.

He has signed permission slips?!

Motivating Students with a Unique Approach

The class is in first place in the vocalo, but some students are not keeping up with their vocab work.

The teacher used parent-teacher conferences to gain permission for motivational techniques, including unconventional methods.

Two students, Natalie and Josh, were called up to eat the world's sourest candy as a form of motivation.

The Controversial Pocky One Chip Challenge

A student on campus has mastered the least number of words, leading to a unique reward: the banned Pocky one chip challenge chip.

The chip's ban is due to a tragic incident where a student died after eating one.

The speaker humorously remarks that this challenge might result in one less paper to grade.
