Selecting Activities and Assessment: Why Are They So Important? Participate in an exercise to demonstrate the difference between properly planned activities and poorly planned activities. (I can't tell you the details because it would ruin the surprise.) Assess the activities that your peers are demonstrating. Key Questions:
 * What becomes obvious from this exercise?
 * Describe a time when you were expected to complete an assignment and you felt unsure about what you were supposed to do?

Why do you think this happened? What could have been done to prevent it? Was the fault on the teacher's part, the student's part, or both?
