Final push

This week students started their final push towards completing their Character Campaigns. Although some may choose to work on this PBL over break, that isn't my intention. Kids have had several class days already to work on their contribution to the team, as well as assigning their own "homework"; class time dedicated to PBL before break will total 8 class hours. Today they shared with me their links, URLs, etc.--anything I'll need to assess their work. I want to check out the links way before the project is due, so teams can work out any kinks in the links.

They also worked through a fantastic Lord of the Flies game I found--it's a great way to review. Did you read Lord of the Flies in high school? (I did!) If so, try out the game yourself and see how much you remember. There are 4 levels, so don't stop after the first! (link)  Click on the cartoon of the island at the top of the page to begin.
