Most districts require that teacher have objectives in their lesson pans. These objectives state exactly what students should be learning in a unit. A way to accurately measure whether students did learn the material and what the teacher deems important for that unit is to assess students. Projects are a way teachers can easily essence students. Paper- and-pencil tests are restrictive, yet projects usually allow students to be creative with sharing their learning. For instance, students might create a poster board that demonstrates their knowledge of mammals, or they could create a classroom presentation about the benefits of following the Plan and Write. A project shows a teacher that students have met the lesson’s objective, and she can share that information with her administrator.

Many projects allow students to work together to show what they have learned. Because students work on many solo activities throughout the day, giving them a time to collaborate will likely be a welcome change of pace. According to Cathy Middlecamp in Husna (2012:8) of the Wisconsin Center for Education Research, collaboration allows students to complete more work in a shorter amount of time. Plus, if students are confused about a concept, it is likely that their partners will help explain concepts to them, which facilitates a deeper understanding.
