Develop activities within the standards/syllabus. EG: For my unit on Personal Growth & Responsibility, I might develop an assessment task where students produce a teenage magazine. In the magazine you might have an informative piece on drugs, an ad for chocolate (to teach students the power of advertising) and you might have an advise column where students give practical and safe advise to "distressed readers". A magazine is versatile enough for students of all abilities and/or intelligences to make a contribution: Artists, writers, editors, graphic designers, printers etc). = = I think we can guide their learning with open ended questioning. The Curriulum Framing Questions help because it streamlines student learning. Having said that, I think students learn and understand what they are ready to. It is our job as teachers to build on that to give students all the skills and knowledge we can to equip them for a fulfilling and independent adult life. = = Encourage students to delegate specific tasks for each member of the group according to their strengths. The group can then negotiate which tasks need to be completed within the session to work towards the completion of their project. We can still demonstrate accountability because it is up to us to question students and guide them back to the task without critisising their effort.
 * **How do I ensure that students meet standards/syllabus outcomes—and meet enough of them to make the effort worthwhile—in open-ended activities and projects?**
 * **If we are encouraging independent learning, how will we be sure they learn what is important?**
 * **How do I ensure accountability when students are working in groups?g**

Record your ideas on the wiki page. One person in your group has been assigned to create the following elements:
 * New subpage
 * Title for your group’s page
 * Question you are discussing
 * 2-column, 8-row table with "Concerns" in the left column and "Solutions" in the right column

Discuss and enter your concerns and possible solutions in the table.
 * Note:** When working with ‘Web 2.0’ resources, you may want to type your ideas in an offline word processing document and then copy and paste them into the online environment when you are finished—especially if your Internet connection is not stable.

Save your wiki page when your discussion and wiki page are finished.
