  Case: Project-based Assessment
Mrs. Lee assigned a project to her middle grades English Language Arts classes. 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!)
The teacher should explain that if she had concerns about the project then she should have come to her before the project was due with them. The teacher then should explain to the student the importance of the project and possibly allow her another day to complete it. She may simply need some materials to take home in order to complete the project. There is probably an underlying reason as to why she did not want to complete the assessment.
