Choice board activities include:
l. Engage creativity: students construct word search puzzles, to exchange with others, using blank word search templates (see link below).
2. Encourage innovation: create treasure maps using landforms as the locale (think outside the box): up/around/through a volcano, over and around an archipelago, through a fjord (remember to include a legend, compass rose)
3. Stimulate creativity using multi-media design strategies: engineer and record (audio, audio/visual, hand drawn diagrams, use online/offline resources) construction of 3D model of a landform (student's choice); include color, labels, other relevant information as required
