In this example, a student chose to do a artistic representation for her Spanish Art History class.

She had multiple options to choose from; an essay, painting, drawing, sculpture, video, contemporary representation, music.

This student’s strengths were in art. The ability to choose how she expressed her learning, motivated her, engaged her and allowed her to express a creative side of her personality that would not have been seen through writing an essay. Her ultimate mark significantly increased due to this assignment.
