Choice boards

In one of the classes that we have had to take for this program we created choice boards.  These boards are something that I had used before, but have started using a lot more recently.  The students are given a choice board, or as I call it a Tic-Tac-Toe board when we have completed a chapter.  The students then have to complete the board by doing three activities across down or diagonal.  You can include a "free space" if you want, but I often times don't because it can make the board/test too easy for the students.  I use these boards as a test.  I have found that there is higher passing grade using tic-tac-toes as apposed to paper tests.  Click here to see the most recent tic-tac-toe board we did in my 6th grade Science Class!

Here is a video of the kids working and sharing their projects with the class.
