Make the learning relevant to students NOW; especially middle years students. Not for their jobs, not for VCE, not for next year (even though this is still very important they need to think / know they can use the skills now) NB: Geoff Wilhelm 2008 with reference to Middle years boys Choice and accountability

Task design that allows students to perform at their own level or be pushed forward - open ended tasks. Explore in directions that they want to go. Be creative in ways they would not normally be creative in.
