Shared+Decisions

Here are some of the ways students can share in the responsibility for decision-making in our English classes:
Curriculum - Setting Our Goals: what things shall we play with? Texts? Films? ...
 * unit goals
 * individual student goals
 * class goals
 * pace
 * vocab
 * biblical integration

Activities - who will play? what shall we play? Rules of play
 * reading
 * writing
 * frequency and number
 * style

Assessment - were our goals reached? how were they reached?
 * how are we playing with texts?
 * which reading and writing games and tasks did we enjoy?
 * which did we learn from?
 * which did we do well at?

Evaluation - did we learn anything? what did we learn?
 * peers
 * teacher
 * self
 * establish relative value and weight of activities
