The project required the students to create a 3-d model. On the due date, a female student approached Mrs. Lee and stated, "I did not complete the project, I am not good with projects." How should Mrs. Lee handle the student's response? Should the student be allowed an alternate assessment or be allowed more time to complete the original assignment? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I think that Mrs. Lee should remind the student that it was her responsibility to advocate for herself if she was not comfortable completing a project. Mrs. Lee should explain why the project is important. Instead of creating an alternate assessment, Mrs. Lee should offer to help the student brainstorm some ideas for her project, and then give the student the opportunity to complete the project for a late penalty. That way, the student is still completing the required work, and she will know that she is accountable for her school work even if it's not work she particularly likes.
