  Case: Rigor
I teach Honors and next year will teach an AP course. I struggle with the level of rigor within my classroom. I know at times I am too "soft" on the students, but I want the students to learn and enjoy the experience. I do not want to beat them over the head with "extra" work which many times is what taking Honors means. What are some ways I can rise my rigor without it just being extra work?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I have challenged my classes in the past by giving them the challenge of developing a lesson in which they teach to the class on different topics. You of course will give the topic, guidelines (close to the five step protocol), and rubric in which they would use to develop the lesson. The audience (peers) would do a peer evaluation of the student(s) that teach (via presentation) the lesson. This may take time but will definitely challenge and engage the students.
