You're offering a differentiated approach - appealing to a much wider variety of your students - getting them hooked by letting them choose and asking them to produce something that's fun and meaningful. I find your blog and your ideas to be very inspirational and up-to-the-minute in terms of arts advocacy and pedagogy. Thank you belatedly for sharing and inspiring - thanks to your terrific learners as well.

I think it's a great idea to try!Katie Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056783451407075827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8826240726141548436.post-51847863759433525902012-12-30T13:10:27.194-05:002012-12-30T13:10:27.194-05:00Ian,

One assignment was something brand new that I thought was worthwhile, and I had given the students a lot of choice and wasn't sure how it would go. I told the students I didn't yet know how I would assess it, but that I trusted them to help me figure it out as we moved along. The discussion that we had close to the end of the project about characteristics of quality was so rich. They were learning about the content and learning about learning at the same time. I encourage you to try it and involve the students in the planning, execution and assessment too...if you have that amount of freedom in your school.<br />Leslie<br />Leslie Gateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03708318144174783132noreply@blogger.com
