B. FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Production is important because it can serve as a motivator by engaging students in the process of their learning. Production also allows students some leeway to work in ways that they prefer, helps them to develop real world skills, and develops their abilities to communicate and collaborate with others. Most important for production projects, students are motivated by producing a tangible outcome. Like other types of group projects, well-planned production projects can result in the following student gains:

 Individual and group/social responsibility
 Planning, critical thinking, reasoning, and creativity
 Strong communication skills, both for interpersonal and presentation needs
 Cross-cultural understanding
 Visualizing and decision-making
 Knowing how and when to use technology and choosing the most appropriate tool for the task

Production projects can also benefit a wide range of students. For example, these projects can support the skills and abilities of English language learners because production offers all students opportunities to communicate in a variety of modes (e.g., speaking, drawing, gesturing), to receive language and content input in a variety of modes (e.g., graphics, video, listening), and to use different learning styles (e.g., hands-on, visual, aural) during the production process.
