            We can get and gather information for local and domestic problems or questions in different library. We just need to look for the local materials section and read some articles about the information needed.

C.  WEB-BASED PROJECTS

1. Should the creativity of students be recognized and approved in simple projects (for example, producing photos with captions, caricatures on social issues, etc.? Explain.

Yes, the teacher should recognize and approved the simple project that the student passes to them. Every student has their own talent and different ways on how they will express their knowledge. If the teacher give some criteria about the project then the teacher need to check the project of the student, if the project pass the criteria or rubric then the teacher need to give a grade on that project.

2. Should the aspects of expense and time be considered in creativity projects? Explain.

Yes, time is very important in creating projects. Student need to follow the time allotment in order to get high grade on the activity. It also important to follow the time allotment because it can help the student to improve their attitude in following the orders of their teacher.

3. In group projects, other members can ride on the creative talent of one or some members in the group. How can the teacher give proper credit to the more talented/creative students in a cooperative project?

            The teachers need to watch his/her student to know who are the students that are giving more effort to finish the activity. Also, the teacher need to give extra grade to the student that gives more effort than other students.
