Cool alternative type activities

This site has some interesting ideas on how to mix up what you're doing in class. It has some examples of Web Quests, Problem Based Learning (I have a cool one on Cholera if anyone is interested), case studies... etc.

  1. Wow! That website has tons of activities. It will be going on my favorites :) Another assessment tool that I use are foldables. These are great manipulatives and can be differentiated to the need or strength of the student. You can also integrate technology into foldables and have students make them on the computer and print them out. For more information about foldables check out http://www.dinah.com
    I also use rubrics for projects and reports. You can create your own rubrics at http://rubistar.4teachers.org
    Hope this is helpful.
