Authentic experiences that students can make personal connections to make learning more effective, relevant, and memorable!

Here are some activity ideas that can help you get started: 

• Scavenger Hunts (live or digital)
• See, Think, Wonder (What do you see? Why do you think the artist created this piece/What do you think this particular piece or phenomenon represents? What else are you wondering about the artist, piece, or concept?)
• Historical Connections and Comparisons (research, explore, and compare aspects of various geographic, cultural, and scientific concepts)
• Passion Projects & PSA's (explain and research personal interests to turn them into public service announcements with calls for action) 

Take a look at some of the websites below to encourage your student to explore and create.
