Incorporating Student Creativity into BlendEd Class
Levels of implementation for Indicator 1.8 from Blended Observation Rubric
Nicole is a High School Language Arts Teacher.
Students create a variety of different projects for my classes to demonstrate their learning. I find that students enjoy these activities and seem to retain information for a longer period of time when they can associate it with a specific activity or task. Below I have included some examples.
1) News Presentations Students in my Current Events class created news reports to demonstrate their understanding of how the news worked. He is a picture of one of the presentations: |

| 2. Students as Teachers Students were assigned specific topics and then were given freedom to teach the class for an entire period. They were able to utilize any teaching strategies that they wanted. They loved this activity. They enjoyed being given freedom and like assigning homework to their peers. This picture shows two students presenting an Emaze presentation to the class while they took notes. |

| 3. Picture Notes Students create picture notes quite often in my classroom to reflect on their learning. In picture notes students are given topics from the textbook and told to summarize the topic and then illustrate it. I was blown away by the submissions this year. |

| 4. Picture Books Similar idea as picture notes but in book form. |
