The Four A's:
Assignments that Matter
- Have a clarity of purpose and expectation- WIIFM(What's in it for me).
- Give students choices--generate built in motivation
- Are relevant: personal, timely, local
- Stress higher level thinking skills--We don't want creative paraphrasing (compare and contrast, write a prevention article, story from POV, Analyze of fear of). Move up Bloom's! Research questions must move up the pyramid (Stay away from the three R's: rote, restraint, regurgitation).
- Answer a Question: legitimate and useful (level 1-4 questioning)
- Let the topic choose you.
- Use local experts
- Tell your findings as a story
- Reveal feelings to create a lively paper
