Imagine the Possibilities
The beginning of chapter 3 related planning a 21st century project to planning for a trip. This analogy was great to help me understand the process of planning a project. You need to focus on major topics and the big ideas of your particular subject. The next step is using 21st century strategies that connect the information directly to each student's personal experiences. The engagement will increase and student achievement will increase. Now the tough part, deciding which idea to choose for a project.

I think that relating projects to students' lives is a great way to engage them, and make them more interested in the topic. I also think that allowing leeway with choices for projects helps them to be more engaged. I am doing a project like this with the water cycle. We will see how it goes.
ReplyDeleteCreating a history blog sounds like a great idea. Thanks for the suggestion.
