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.
Develop their own hypotheticals
Objective: To integrate material with a personal expression of learning.
Activity: Students develop hypothetical situations for other students to analyze to determine whether a student's due process rights were recognized. (Example: A teacher reduces a student's grade because s/he had an unexcused absence as a result of a day at the zoo to entertain grandparents who arrived unexpectedly.)
