So What's your point?

Using point system is one way of differenating your instruction. It gives students the indivdual choice giving them a sense of ownership. It also offers them ways to complete the assignments based on what they are interested in completing. The example we found was based on an Egyptian unit in which the students were able to choose a total of eight points. This could easily be implemented into many areas, and rather than overwhelm the teacher, the teacher could begin with one unit and move on from there each year.
