Hi! I see you have a section of the benefits of school belonging. You could discuss how academic achievement is affected by school belonging? Found this article on it if you're interested Goodenow, C., & Grady, K. E. (1993). The relationship of school belonging and friends' values to academic motivation among urban adolescent students. The Journal of Experimental Education, 62(1), 60-71. The full pdf of the article was difficult to find, but I do have it downloaded so if you want it I can email it to you? Just email me if you want it :) --U3117592 (discuss • contribs) 03:40, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, your book chapter is well written and has a great structure. Two very minor suggestions. You could provide one sentence in your overview to explain what you are going to cover in your chapter. Also, you haven't actually defined motivation anywhere. You could add a brief definition before you jump into discussing intrinsic motivation. Otherwise great job on the research and theory you have included. --BecNorton (discuss • contribs) 09:29, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

Hey your chapter looks great so far! One small suggestion I have is to create a different coloured dialogue box for your case study? I think this would just make the case study stand out a little bit more and it would be easier for them to find. The syntax for creating a different dialogue box is

{ { RoundBoxTop|theme=2 } } - To change the colour of the box just change the number after the word "theme" from 1-4 (just copy and paste the syntax and then delete the spaces between the brackets.

{ { RoundBoxBottom } } - Put this syntax right at the end of your case study

I hope you find this edit helpful :) --U3117614 (discuss • contribs) 01:24, 13 October 2016 (UTC) U3117614

Hey Great chapter! I was thinking that for children who feel as if they don't belong at school they might be subject to bullying? It seems to be a growing issue in schools and I wasn't sure if you wanted to touch on that as it can have quite devastating impacts on children throughout their childhood but also into their adult life. Just a suggestion :) --Mckeak (discuss • contribs) 22:57, 22 October 2016 (UTC)

Structure
Avoid having a single sub-section within a section; either add another sub-section or merge the content into the higher level section. -- Jtneill - Talk - c 23:07, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
