Project Based Learning. It's a great new perspective in education today--our current PBL gives students one of the most real world applications I've ever assigned to kids. They are working on a campaign to promote a character trait they think is critical to our world today. I've got teams creating billboards, bumper stickers, brochures, Twitter accounts, Facebook pages, Instagram, tee shirts, public service announcements ... and I could go on! During the next several weeks you should see your student working on any number of components to their campaign;
all components of the campaigns need to be created using technology--no poster board, etc.! Each group will present their campaign to their classmates during exam week. (More details on the presentation will come the after Winter Break.)
Students will need to turn in a planning proposal for their campaign on Monday. It should look something like this
(link). I went over the proposal directions with kids today and they have all the directions, templates, and resources on Moodle. I'll offer students an opportunity to re-do/revise their proposals next week; after Friday Dec. 5,
no credit will be offered because this is a planning document.
Monday we've got a quiz over chapters 4-6, then students will have some time to work on their character campaigns.
