Terry's Tips

Provide options for recruiting interest

One of the most successful ways to recruit student interest is by giving them choices and opportunities for personal control. Set a clear instructional goal and offer students choices for how to reach it.

Here, students have a clear goal:  creating options for the race that can work for different animals.  Choices for how to reach the goal engage students as indviduals. They can choose any two animals, and can present their ideas in many different media. They can draw, write, use images, create a slide show, or a Book Builder book about their ideas. These choices enable each student to find the most appropriate path for them to reach their goal, finding a good balance of challenge and support.
