What challenges do you anticipate in breaking down a larger PBL project into daily, manageable tasks like those shown? Beyond the example, what other types of daily activities could be incorporated into a PBL unit to support student learning and project progress? Considering your own PBL context, what modifications or adaptations might you need to make to a similar daily activities? by https://padlet.com/oglesbeeh1/6oadjqyspzy40chq Post your response to the discussion topic by clicking the plus button below. en-us 2025-06-23 19:00:08 UTC 2025-06-25 02:37:51 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4ac.png oglesbeeh1 https://padlet.com/oglesbeeh1/6oadjqyspzy40chq/wish/3499489300 Time management between research and hands-on work could be challenging. I'd add mini-lessons, expert interviews, and digital progress journals.

I think students may need more time on some of the activities I have listed.

Making sure everything aligns effectively and also meet the rigor as you go or atleast build up to rigorous PBL. -Ashley Bourne

The daily tasks I keep thinking of a bigger projects that would take up a lot of time. I need to work on breaking them down into smaller steps that can be done a little bit each day.

In my PBL I sectioned the task off by days like day 1, day 2, day 3… etc. I am wondering if this is appropriate or if I need to have it formatted like the worksheet that was handed out?

I could see some of my students also having a difficult time keep up with materials or becoming behind on the lesson.

The students will then do a gallery walk looking at every groups chart and jotting notes on their own personal paper they didnt think of.

It will be difficult to dive deep but at the same time to not take up more time from another subject and to also complete the project. Some students learn at a slower pace, so catching all students up would be difficult since not all at the same learning levels.

One challenge I believe I may encounter is all students being able to complete each portion of the PBL. Although I have a mental list of daily tasks I’d like to incorporate, it may be a struggle making sure all pieces get done. I want to focus the learning on hands-on activities, and that may be more time consuming than the time allotted. Because of this, I may have students make this more a group effort in completing the final tasks per day once whole group learning is over.

A challenge I anticipate when breaking down my PBL into daily activities for students is planning activities that are relevant to the PBL and engaging for students. I anticipate struggling to come up with daily activities that are creative and engaging and not repetitive.

Another challenge may be students using materials incorrectly or being unsure of the given directions.

  • I anticipate having the challenge of creating smaller activities for students throughout using the content in my PBL. The hardest part for me is taking the bigger lesson and breaking it down into the smaller increments.

A daily activity may doing good in theory but when put into action, it can be more time consuming than originally planned. Also working with technology and creating things like a presentation could be very time consuming for students who are not used to working with certain apps like Canva.

While science is the main component there is an expectation when taking extra class time to dive deeply that other subjects and standards need to be met at the same time.

    One big challenge I can see if having enough time to complete all task in a day. Transitioning from activity to activity can take some times depending on how well the classroom management in the room is as well as trying to fit so much into one day. Depending on the students as well it may be more overwhelming with the multiple activities or requirements in one day.

Plus, everyone works at a different pace, so keeping it balanced can be tricky.

Therefore, when you are trying to take something and drag it out you can often loose sight of what the main goal is. It is important to keep focus and ensure the task are on track and engaging for students

    #1. One challenge I know I will anticipate is making the daily task manageable and engaging for all students. Some students may struggle or stress about doing the daily activity with being on a time crunch or maybe not be able to do it independently. Also, time will be put into play with maybe a different school schedule or with time being an issue, will the data be accurate to be able to use.

Assigning what to do each day as they watch and observe the plants.

Some further activities could include real time feedback from a community partner and more time for students to interact with experts in related fields.

There is only about 15 minutes for science. Some activities may have to span over several days rather than for one day. Breaking the activities in sections may help.

It may feel rushed if it’s too big or boring if it’s too small. Finding the right amount of work for the work time granted can take some time to figure out. -Leah Kolbe

I also believe there are a ton of resources that could be incorporated to pbl learning such as virtual field trips, interactive websites, and video to help keep students engaged. For my PBL i am really working on what students need to accomplish after each lesson to be prepared for the next lesson.

    Break longer sessions into shorter, focused tasks across multiple days, especially for design and research phases. Integrate work into existing ELA or science blocks to avoid losing core content time. Our daily schedule doesn’t allow for long project work periods, so adapting the timeline makes the project feasible without sacrificing other curriculum requirements.
