Following some advice from a super social studies teacher, Josh Stumpenhorst (@stumpteacher) and created a menu for my students to complete instead of giving them a test. The menu is set up by Appertizer, Main Course, and Dessert. Each column deals with an issue that is being faced in Africa. The higher the price, the harder the project. I have one project in each column that asks to students to write, use technology, and create some kind of poster.  I tried to give the students as much choice as I could while still covering the objectives. That is why they are free to choose what countries they cover. 

My friend Moss Pike  (@mosspike) and I co-moderated an #isedchat about the Charateristics of Successful Advisory Program. If you are around on Thursdays at 9 PM EST you should stop by. Here is the Storify.
