These assignments often go beyond simple recall or application of a single skill and instead demand:
* Critical thinking: Analyzing information from multiple sources.
* Problem-solving: Applying knowledge from different subjects to solve a complex problem.
* Creativity: Developing original solutions or presentations.
* Collaboration: Working with others to pool skills and perspectives.
* Communication: Clearly presenting findings in a chosen format (written report, presentation, etc.)
For example, a project that requires researching a historical event, analyzing its impact on the economy (using math skills), and presenting the findings in a multimedia format (using technology skills) would be an example of integrated or project-based homework.
