11. Reflections This assignment is a perfect opportunity for the students to use their creativity while producing a document that is used everyday. When standardized tests are used, the students are expected to give the same answer. Using student produced documents allow students to express themselves at a different level. Every student can take the same information; produce their own final product, and all receive a grade of 100 even though they are all different. Student produced work allows students to express themselves and show their abilities in a whole other light. The students are motivated to create quality work and are proud of their accomplishments. This assignment not only allows the students to show their creative side but it also exposes the students to real world situations. These experiences are all positive.
