- Decide what product your students can provide to confirm that they have met the learning objective.
- In situations like these, it is best to have a menu of options for students to choose from to accommodate for differences in tech access, as well as differences in situations & resources at home. Also consider what resources you may be able to provide.
- Consider teaming up with other teachers for a cross-curricular effort. This could cut down on the number of individual assignments for students, making it seem less overwhelming. It's also a proven way to increase transfer of knowledge, & critical thinking skills. Some teachers have already contributed cross-curricular ideas on this spreadsheet.
- Realistically, what time-frame will students need to complete the product? Remember, they are getting assignments from multiple teachers, & under the current conditions they could easily be overwhelmed.
- Consider breaking down the assignment into parts, & including an organizer for students to plan out when they will complete each part.
