This renewable assignment for an education course leverages student choice and agency by having students choose the product they wish to create, as well as incorporating peer review into the final part of the project.
by Ben Johnson (Brock University)
This renewable assignment involves two parts: a creation/product in the form of either a choose-your-own-adventure story, a comic strip, or an interview script. Students create a hypothetical situation created in response to the counterfactual where extracurriculars are not officially supported by the institution. Then, they create comprehension questions by which their peers would use various learning theories (e.g., Vygotsky’s Zone of Proximal Development) to analyze the counterfactual story.
This creation and accompanying questions are reviewed by their peers and examined by a future cohort who will first test their knowledge with the comprehension questions before creating their own, lending itself to a cycle of renewability.
