His students are very exceptional and academically superior compared to the on-level world history classes. The coach has noticed that he has a high percentage of his class that exceeds on the formal assessment he gives in class. He knows he should use an enrichment activity to help stimulate deeper knowledge within the material, however, he wants to make it enjoyable for the students. He feels that if he gives a complex reading that students will lose interest very quickly. What are some activities or enrichment assessments he could use that they could find enjoyable? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) An enrichment activity that this teacher could use is a project based assessment. Students with this ability need to apply what they know instead of recall it. I would allow students to complete an independent project to prove learning.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I love project based assessments!
