13. Wikis Wikis are a great way to let everyone contribute to create a final project. It allows students to all contribute by allowing them all access.

16. Podcast/Vodcast Allows students to evaluate books and teaches them how to talk about books. Requires students to understand the book well enough to create with it. Uses those higher order thinking skills.

19. Have everything written down before students begin to create.

20. An example would help students to know what to do but sometimes students will try to create something exactly like yours.

21. Rubrics work well for these types of projects.
