Identify one or two ways you can, as Dr. Black says, “build a structure [in your classroom] that also has a level of flexibility.”

I like to provide boundaries for kids to express creativity within.

I allow students to create books, posters, collage and the use of technology as google slides. Students are allow to work individually, with a partner or in teams.

The students can choose to work with a peer, listen to audiobooks, or type their work.

For science I would have students choose to work as a group or individually to create science projects on the lesson that they are learning in course or have them pick an essay question from 3 that I give them and write an essay on a book that the course is reading.

This will be my first year to have my own classroom, and I’ll be teaching reading & writing. I like how Laura said she assigns a list of different options that students can complete at the end of one of their novels. I actually would like to do something similar with my students, as we’ll be doing about 4 novels together this year. It can also be as simple as assigning their list of spelling words, but giving them to flexibility to create their own sentences using any of the words from their list. …. Or allowing them to create their own sentence and labeling it when we label sentences.
