Hello!

We need to say that all of these projects are meant for a PBL environment. The project is really the
umbrella under which you are doing everything. Keep these things in mind:

Collaboration Student Voice & Choice

Students need to work in groups
Failure needs to be embraced
Failing Forward - Students need to learn
this (and the teachers do, too)
Make the Time
Find ways to give students time to work
together in class
The more you leave up to the students, the
better
Rubrics are Your Friend
Not fun to make, but so worth it in the end
Front Load Everything
If you put in the work up front everything
goes much smoother during the project
