Not every assessment in schools has to be test or an essay. Some other choices:

• plan and organise an event,
• require a creative work,
• write an autobiography,
• create a banner,
• write a book review,
• create a brochure,
• write a cartoon series,
• make a collage,
• conduct a debate or courtroom trial,
• make a video
• create a Website (or blog or wiki)
• play the stockmarket (or forex) with “virtual” money

I’ve had students who said (when faced with these choices), “Just give us a test. It takes less time.”
