Projects

Having students participate in projects during lessons helps them think critically while applying the knowledge they are gaining in different ways. Projects let students be creative and find ways to show they understand the information we are teaching, but they get to have more freedom of choice as far as how they present their knowledge. Using projects is also a good way for teachers to continually assess students' progress and give them constructive feedback. I have learned a lot of new information already today about using projects in the classroom that I can now apply to my lesson plans.
