Teacher Laura Sexton AKA Sra. Spanglish has her students do Genius Hour projects - independent research about a topic that they are passionate about. See how she sets it up here: http://www.pblinthetl.com/2014/05/passion-from-start.html. Now it’s the end of the term and time for assessment, so she’s using Integrated Performance Assessments. Each IPA is individualized to a student’s research topic, but she makes it doable: http://www.pblinthetl.com/2015/05/personalized-genius-hour-ipa-final.html. The listening component of the IPA involves playing a video for each learner. See how she addresses the challenge of creating good content for novice learners here: http://www.pblinthetl.com/2015/12/7-steps-to-create-videos-for.html
