Creative+Activities

=//**Creative Activities**// = Creative Activities include various tasks that move beyond the average multiple-choice assignments and worksheets. In order for these to be successful, they must be:
 * hands-on
 * meaningful, personal, and real
 * give students ownership of their education
 * Allow them to help or entirely make the choices about which assignment or assessment to do.
 * relate directly to the Essential Question or "Big Idea"

//**Examples**// One way to create an effective creative performance assessment is to use the GRASPS method. GRASPS Stands for:


 * Goal
 * Role
 * Audience
 * Situation
 * Produce, Performance, and Purpose
 * Standards and Criteria for Success
