1）Critique the unit lesson plan by reflecting on the teaching and learning of every unit with the peer teachers.

2）Let the students critique each other.

I like the big world little library project- great way to teach the importance of literacy. Understanding of inequality to books in different communities and gives the children the chance to make their own little libraries to solve a real life problem. Good use of curriculum links to measurement as well for math when making the mini libraries.

Students taught to offer constructive critique, which allows students to move forward.

There are so many things students could do for this project:

history, art, journaling, social studies, cross-cultural understanding, communication, etc.

The students developed a range of skills:

-producing podcasts

-writing journals

-research (literature review)

-creating art pieces to reflect their concepts

In This American Life: An Immigration Project, students ask "What challenges have immigrants faced throughout history?"

# data[].attributes.body
Students will work together to draft historical narratives, a report of current businesses, a summary of the individuals they interviewed and why these are places kids should visit. I like that it's the kids' perspective that is prioritized. Collaborative as well. A lot of speaking, reading and writing. It's about local history but also very current. The writing has an authentic audience. Integrating history and current events.

integrating geography, language arts, history while getting to know about their community.

We all have our units or field trips to know our community, this was a great way of adding a range of skills while knowing your community.

The project of adding all their learnings their learning to create a kids-friendly website was great. Easy for everyone to know about Liberty station.

The project focused around measuring pollution in each household and collectively making changes to reduce it. I liked how they involved parents and got the students to write persuasive letters to members of the school committee as well as creating eco brick structures. I think it taught the students in a very direct way what steps they can take to make a difference as oppose to just observing the problems.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
4th graders at HTeCV raised awareness about the pollution problem they noticed on campus and put solutions into action to reduce waste.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that stood out for me in this was the point about having students "persevere through a complex multi-stage project".

I find students often have difficulty with this and need support.

My strategy is by "chunking" portions of the entire lesson, and having formative learning activites that can be later applied to the final larger activity.

Chunking can make the perseverance easier.

Why should first-graders care about the ocean?

# data[].attributes.body
First-grade students explored the marine ecosystem to answer the question, “Why should first-graders care about the ocean?”

Actions:

1)engaged students in working with local marine scientists to learn about the different tools and techniques that scientists use to study the ocean

2)Students focused on types of ocean pollution (trash and sound) and explored ways each type of pollution affects the ocean and their own environments (home and school).

3) Translate their knowledge about the ocean into art to share their passion for conserving the ocean.

E.g.: watercoloring projects,

repurposing trash to model ocean animals and rewriting a popular pop song to express their answers to the project's essential question.

4)Students discussed local environmental issues and drafted possible solutions.

5) Skills gained: Students developed collaboration and research skills.

I used to feel that just giving time for feedback was enough. I now feel that time needs to be given to the critiquing of the feedback so that we can make the most of the feedback giving time. This can be done in campfire.

I used to feel uncertain about how project-based learning can support students with special learning needs. Now, I feel that I can understand how PBL is a great way to introduce all students to real-life experiences, which helps them learn a wide range of skills. Additionally, I now comprehend how social-emotional skills can be incorporated into PBL.
