Student Choice to Increase Creativity

After finishing up their unit on Native American literature, students in Diane Euston's English III classes were tasked with creating their own origin myths incorporating a moral or lesson at the end. Once the written piece was completed, they had to present their story to the class using technology. Students were given a choice to create a Google Slides presentation, Prezi, iMovie, or another tool (as approved by their teacher) to share their stories. Judging by the end results, students appeared determined to show what they'd learned in creative ways. Just check out this fantastic iMovie by 11th grader, Noah Moore, on the origin of the sun for one example of the many awesome projects!

Very creative. I am a taxpayer within this district and am more than pleased to see such creativity being fostered in my district classroom!
