Choice Boards and Menus allow for you to design authentic assessments that allow teachers to differentiate, meet the needs of all learning styles, and motivate students to give their best.
In working on the Choice Boards and Menus below, my students were excited from the moment I handed out the assignments. The energy in the classroom was amazing. Once I discussed the choices and allowed them to start, I could see the wheels turning and the results were astounding!
In a world where information literacy is a must, the students showed me that not only had they gained new information, but they were able to USE the information as well.
Tips for Creating Choice Boards and Menus:
1. Use your top row of choices or your first item on the menu for your easiest options.
2. Check to be sure that each column or menu course has an option for various learning styles.
3. Be creative. Incorporate current trends into your choices. (Ex: Write a graphic book, write a song using the tune of a popular song).
