The students are required to have a visual and a quiz for the class. The groups are encouraged to be creative in their planning and use technology when appropriate. After completing the project students are required to self-evaluate. They are also asked to evaluate other group members. I also try and use different forms of testing.
Students write an essay on The Scarlet Letter.
This shows me more than a traditional test. It allows me to see how well the students understand the novel as a whole.
