ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines the different types of products included in the featured menus, as well as the guidelines and expectations for each. It provides a list of the products that were chosen for their flexibility in meeting different learning styles, as well as for being products many teachers are already using in their classroom. They have been arranged by learning style—visual, kinesthetic, or auditory—and each menu has been designed to include products from all of these learning styles. If a product requires materials from the student, there is a $1 contract as part of the product criteria. Most frustrations associated with products can be addressed proactively through the use of standardized, predetermined product guidelines, to be shared with students prior to them creating any products. One of the most commonly used products in a language arts classroom is the story map.
