Curricular Design - 21st century learning

I incorporated creativity and collaboration by having students conceive of, outline, and design superheroes' origin stories to go along with their multi genre writing projects. They had to conceive of the idea on their own, base the powers on a real-world desire / practice of theirs, think of how it should be related to an outside mythology / culture / area of the world, and, in general, be creative. The results were good, but I haven't seen the final products yet. I'm really excited to see them, though, since students are really into the novel we're basing it off of this time around!
