A Techno-Buffet of Hands-On Learning Activities (Tiered Learning; Student Choices; Technology & Hands-On Emphasis) AN INDEPENDENT LEARNING & CREATIVE ASSIGNMENTS VERSION for MEDIEVAL TIMES Chap 9: 279-323 9.1 (297-301) 9.2 (303-308) 9.3 (309-315) 9.4 (318-323) ALL Smorgasbord assignments with this unit emphasize ‘independent learning & creativity’. I have done some for you and ask that you STUDY THEM INDEPENDENTLY to learn them. What do you need to do to learn the Top 50+ and the Top 100+ Facts? The requirements have CHANGED so pay close attention to those changes. The ‘pay-the-bill’ has ELEVEN very creative choices for a project or a presentation. You can ‘fly solo’ or work with a ‘partner’ or a ‘trio’ or a group of ‘4’ (but no more—unless you get prior approval). Choose wisely and work hard! By the way, don’t forget to do your ONLINE QUIZZES! I really hope you learn a lot from our last Smorgasbord unit of the year. ENJOY! (Check out my QuizLet Kaitlin made for you!)
