This afternoon, I am looking over files of previous students' works on Performance Assessment, an assignment in CT 556 course. All these works are interesting. For example, a student making a PA for sixth grade students to plan a trip to a place they choose on this planet. The students must complete the plan in six weeks that includes budgeting, finding an interesting destination, and interviewing a travel agent (today maybe the students just visit Hotwire, Orbitz, Travelocity, or other on-line reservation sites). Isn't it cool for encouraging our students learning about other cultures and, at the same time, thinking about the logistic and operation of the trip?
