One of Trent's assignments was to write 5 sentences, each one containing one of his spelling words. This is one of the mundane tasks that Trent dislikes. He decided instead to interview his younger brother, Ryan, and write a paragraph about him as well as illustrate what he wrote about. I submitted the homework at the end of the week and asked his teacher if she would accept that instead (as I thought it was much more innovative than simply writing 5 sentences). She happily accepted it and said that we could tailor Trent's assignments as needed to motivate him to complete it.
