WendyLRouse Jan 27 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2. Be willing to take risks yourself. #xplap

kellyonyskiw Jan 27 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 When Ss have ownership over their own learning they are more engaged to create, learn and share /S choices #Xplap

@Slapshot99 @TracyZordan @tishrich Here's an example of blackout poetry #XPlap https://t.co/yLqkXwnOSS

TracyZordan Jan 27 @ 8:18 PM EST

@Slapshot99 Take an existing text (any type) and have Ss choose the important terms to create a poem & blackout all the rest. #XPLAP 1/2

ronaldfisher Jan 27 @ 8:18 PM EST

This week I changed the tables, instead of giving them a specific assignment I gave them options. #XPlap

jvanscoyoc Jan 27 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 #xplap "Adventure" rubrics have options instead of a checklist for one project. If "fail", redo project or choose another to add pts

mrmatera - Moderator Jan 27 @ 8:19 PM EST

@Slapshot99 Both of those are powerful ways to develop the whole child. Way to go Nick! #XPLAP

abmoreno1981 Jan 27 @ 8:19 PM EST

The teacher still needs to create the structure & set high expectations, but Ss can be part of the process to promote "buy in". #XPlap

TracyZordan Jan 27 @ 8:19 PM EST

@Slapshot99 Can't add words - I also follow rule that can't change order of words. #XPLAP 2/2
