    I give criteria for the assignment based on their grade
    level. (Example: The picture must have a complete background-
    make the sky "touch" the grass, and don't leave any white
    paper.) Then I can refer to the criteria when they ask, "Can
    I be done?" They might not like it, but this tends to slow
    them down, and get better results.
