Who says that the end of the semester isn't a time to try new things? Since many teachers look at various models of Project Based learning as a way to assess students at the end of the year, we thought we would highlight some of the great projects students have completed throughout the year:
With a wide variety of tools, you can give students the freedom to design their own projects by using the Media Center's Makerspace.
Widely available on most mobile devices, simple stop-motion filming can bring new elements of design to any end-of-the-year project.
Memes
They're not just funny pictures on the Internet; they're a sociological construct for transferring data from one person to another. Explore a variety of academic and satirical uses.

Photo Galleries
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then student pictures of the things they've created or done as a method of evidence or reflection can produce strong connections for a variety of assessable criteria. Plus, they're just fun.
Infographics
Bring back reading in a digital age by having students construct their own informative graphics or cartoons about key concepts.
