While swamped with marking from a recent brilliant but "big" cross-curricular assignment a colleague and I embarked on with two grade 7 classes, I was second-guessing whether it had been a good idea to try something so, well, cross-curricular! But seeing the enthusiasm of those groups who chose to present their ideas to their peers the other day confirmed it was just the sort of real life application that enriches student learning.
My colleague and I had assorted individuals and small groups set up shop in the locker bay area, then the rest of the students went around to "shop" the various field trip ideas and give their feedback on the creators' presentation of same.

It was neat to see the breadth of ideas students had come up with... everything from free lunch and a t-shirt to customized mini-maps highlighting the 6-minute walking route from the potential feeder school to our location... fun!
