You may want to add that the multiple options for the final product need to be appropriate and equal in merit. Also, for the plan/project to meet the requirement, shouldn't it have to provide more than one option for the format of the final product? If it only provides one option, then it doesn't provide "options" and would need to be revised. - Matt

I agree and think that maybe it should say limited options or few options? -Jen

I was under the impression that this catgory was for DI, so students with special needs would have options along the way, not just for the final product. Sue

I think that perhaps "more than 2" resources in the "excels" slot is not enough. I can think of some scenarios where "more than 2" might be inadequate....! Does anyone else feel this way? If we handed in a paper with two sources in college, we would probably not be graded well. Sue brings up a good point. If we are truly addressing the needs of multiple learning styles and other special needs, shouldn't we at least address the quantity issue in "options" in other terms. Sorry, it is 7:30...just finished dinner and have few brain cells to offer wording for now. I will revisit this again tonight.-Bud

Is there any opportunity for student choice here?
