PBL+Book+Study

Pages 75-84

I've seen elements of this PBL in our classrooms and other classes.


 * Essential Question/Driving Question:** How can we share with others about the animals in our community?


 * Content standards:**
 * compare/contrast animal characteristics/habitats
 * investigate animal adaptations to survive in habitat
 * research
 * 21st century skill: creating and communicating


 * Product examples:**
 * Mary James 1st grade 2010-2011 Riddles
 * Gina Fraher "Follow the Clues...Bird Detective" -- written by her student


 * Other ideas for making products:**
 * We could make a eBooks with the iPad


 * Page 86 -- Am I allowing students to generate their own research questions?**
 * Look at this video on Edutopia to see how this kindergarten teacher helped facilitate their generating their own questions
 * Look at this post on Langwitches for KWHL for how to bring your KWL into the 21st century
