1. The power of ownership should never be underestimated.
 * very accurate statement
 * if students are not obligated to take ownership they are less likely to try hard and do not learn as much as they potentially could have
 * take pride in something that they have made and created

2. Young adolescents want desperately to do “real” work, things that have meaning for them and significance in their community.
 * students are constantly asking why they have to do something
 * if the task makes sense to them because it applies to them, they are less likely to ask why and more likely to work hard
 * students want to work to help themselves so if the assignment pertains to them they will be more likely to work on it
 * students will get involved in the community if given the chance to decide how they want to be involved (like with the group of students and the homeless shelter)
