Students are about to embark on a set of mini-projects between now and exam review week. Those projects have been thinly veiled as menu items. Students are able to choose a certain number of items that add up to a fixed price. Some items are appetizers, some are entrees and others are desserts. Desserts and appetizers are meant to be shared, but can be completed on an individual basis. Examples of the appetizers are creating podcasts for chapter sections, or filming a short demonstration. Entree options are a research paper, a re-written textbook entry, or a building project. Entrees are solely individual. The desserts are a Song & Dance written and performed by a group of students, or a lab completed in small groups.
By then end each student will have completed several small to large projects, some on their own, others with friends. They will have surveyed the chapter and covered most of the main concepts. Hopefully it will be a little bit fun as well.
It is one of my favorite projects of the year- I know many of the students will enjoy it as well.
