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.

Each student must create his/her own personal worldview

Objective: That the students begin to articulate their own worldview.

Activity: Now that the students have mastered the idea of worldview and developed it in terms of the ancient civilizations, each one must crate his/her own personal worldview. The product may take one of several forms:
1. A collage-the student must use current magazines/newspapers to develop this. In additions to being clearly articulated visually, a 1 page written explanation will also be required.
2. A poem -many times the worldview of a civilization can be determined by its poetry as we saw in some of the primary source readings. In the same way, a student may best express her/his worldview within this form of creative expression.
3. An essay – For those who prefer to write in prose form, an essay will be an option. The essay must have a thesis and several points of defense. It must be written in proper MLA form.
4. A 3D model – For the hands on student, the design and creation of a model using wood, or Legos, or some other material may be the most interesting way to express his/her worldview. Again, a written explanation will probably be necessary for this.
5. A visualization – the artistic student can draw or paint a symbolic perspective on her-his worldview.
This is also the time to involve students in the creation of a rubric for assessment.

Assessment: Level at which students work on the projects
