of skills and strategies

student responsibility for constructing, practicing, and recording
new knowledge;

the development of self-monitoring, problem-solving and collaboration
After completing
this Rich Performance Task can you and/or your class find another
Fairy Tale mission to solve? Or choose a favourite children's song
(i.e What if Old MacDonald was going to loose his farm unless
he builds a fence around his whole property. Create activities using
