The Script: What is written on the Dominos

 

What I am trying to say is that while I am not a fan of the essay and I think the essay as a whole needs to retire or die . . . I would consider an alternative to the written essay with the rules and formatting. Why can’t I turn in a written work in this form? A domino colosseum if you will. I am still getting my point across, even though it is not traditional. Let the students take control of how they choose to present their work. Let them be proud of what they have made in what ever form they choose to make it in. Stop pushing the “academic” mold on Us!!

 

Part 3: The Note

This is an extreme example of what I am talking about. No…I do not expect everyone to do something like what i did with the dominos.

If someone wants to create a blog or a website and then turn in the link, the student should have that option.

The main idea is that the control is with the student in what they produce. Not the teachers.
