There is a selection of activities for each subject, many of them repeated as needed. Once my students knew my expectations and how to do a certain project, they felt more confident and were more successful in choosing the same project in a different topic. Students will be able to use the techniques, strategies, and activities that they are familiar with and transferring them to different topics.
Some of the projects include:
- Create a poster
- Create an anchor chart
- Design a computer project
- Design and create a game
- Create a 10-question quiz
- Create a foldable
A grading rubric along with a self evaluation is also included for you to use in assessing the Choice Boards.
Several examples of choice board projects are included to help you as you implement them in your classroom.
