Encourage tinkering with ideas, relationships, connections. Set up situations where students have to find information not readily available in school texts. Provide opportunity for students to design open-ended explorations of the concept. Provide multiple options so students can plan a unique "proof" of learning.

Student Project in Pairs

Objective: Students will generate ideas for creative projects showing the effects current or future technology might have on warfare.

Activity: Students, either working in pairs or small groups, will meet and develop ideas for a short play, visual display, short-story, or poem that depicts their ideas about the impact of current or future technology on warfare and or technology as a deterrent to future warfare. Allow your students as much freedom to be creative as possible, but remind them to keep their works within the boundaries of good taste.

Assessment: Enthusiastic. Students should feel comfortable to explore their creative ideas and enjoy working collaboratively to create something that will entertain and enlighten their classmates
