Establish a classroom atmosphere that celebrates the sharing of learning. Have opportunity for students to practice new learnings. Make student learning available to the larger community, i.e. books students write are shared with other classes, students report in school paper, student work is displayed at school, etc.

Complete projects and share them.

Objective: To increase student ability to work independently and to complete work they have be begun. To provide an opportunity for students to share what they have learned and to learn from each other.

Activity: Students complete their projects and share them with their classmates through a display, an oral presentation, or a creative performance.

Assessment: Faithfulness to contract, quality of completed projects, participation, and sharing. The scope of the contracted projects will determine the number of additional days needed.
