The students in my class are so bright and I have come to realize they have a lot knowledge that they have gained on their own time based on their interests.
So, I gave the students the option of taking over the class to teach us about anything they want to. They become the experts.
In order to help the students along the process and they were provided guidelines. They were also given a project sheet and rubric.
We have already started the presentations,aka student lead lessons, and it's been a blast and such a success!
We have learnt, relaxation techniques, how to decorate cupcakes, how to ride a unicycle, facts about Chinese culture, ancient Egyptian gods and horse racing... and so much more!
