A class is learning about the impact a famous person had on society. As an enrichment activity, the teacher allows students to choose any person that has influenced their life in a positive way and write about that person. By giving students a choice, the teacher best demonstrates an understanding of the importance of
1
having the students participate in community service projects.
2
promoting motivation to better engage students in the learning process
3
making the students responsible for their own work.
4
asking the students to work in groups to complete the project.
