1. As part of my students study of the American Romanticism movement, they adopt the Romantic perspective for an ultimate iMovie production and personal essay. Students choose a location and maintain a journal of observations and take pictures or draw sketches. They use the experience to write a generalization. Finally they use the journal and images to create an iMovie.

2. After studying the archetypal hero in Honors English III, students compare an ancient hero, a modern hero, and a literary hero to answer the overarching question, "How have heroes changed over time, and have they changed for the betterment or detriment of society?" They create a product to share their findings with the class.

3. Students can create their own books with [|Lulu]. We had students produce their own poems after studying poetry, and then we published the book for less than $7 a copy. Students could then purchase the book if interested.
