Autonomy-supportive behaviors for teaching?

I am studying to be a teacher. I am an English major and working on my teaching certification for secondary education But I LOVE researching so while I am on summer vacation I have been researching motivation and have read a lot about teaching with an autonomy-supportive style. This means that I should listen to students wants, encourage them to think for themselves, not give extrinsic rewards because that would undermine the intrinsic motivation that I am supposed to be encouraging. I should also give the students options when it comes to lessons. I'm learning a lot and it seems interesting and like a good idea worth looking into more...BUT, I really want some examples...I mean, how do I apply this in a clroom? How can I allow the students to have choices...especially in a high school english clroom? See the following link for more info about autonomy support in the clroom a href="http://www.oncourseworkshop.com/Motivation008.htm" rel="nofollow"http://www.oncourseworkshop.com/Motivati…/a Thanks!
