Threaded Discussion Question #1

Statement:  "Adolescents appear to need more intense emotional stimulation than either children or adults."

Question: What implications does this have for instruction? Peer-to-peer confrontations? Student-to-teacher confrontations?

Answer: 
     The implications that come from this statement when it comes to instructions for adolescents, could be that adolescents need to be motivated more often then adults and children because they are at the stage where they just don't want to go do certain things. Peer-to-peer confrontations might be hard for some who need the extra emotional stimulation and a peer just can't give that to them. Student-to-teacher confrontations might be the best options for adolescence because the teacher keep them motivated and in the right direction of where they need to be.
