High Level: Engage students in high-level cognitive processing
Productive: Result in the construction of products that integrate key pieces of knowledge
Collaborative: Involve substantive contributions from all members of student groups
Open to Assessment: Include diverse opportunities for meaningful formative assessment of student understanding
