First of, we need to develop project based on learning also that will have positive outcomes for students. Project it will provide project overviews, guiding questions, procedures and activities, work product and descruptions, and also questions for reflections, all of that it will cause students to come up with project solutions.

PBL Lesson  Plan must be prepared and planned according to the availability digital learning and teaching materials like Internet,projectors and other tools to help students to interact and exchanging ideas on their own.

when you need to plan PBL lesson plan you must consider the followings:

Students will typically be assigned a project or series of projects that require them to use diverse skills—such as researching, writing, interviewing, collaborating, or public speaking—to produce various work products, such as research papers, scientific studies, public-policy proposals, multimedia presentations, video documentaries, art installations, or musical and theatrical performances

In order to create effective project-based learning units, professional development organizers suggest using the following guidelines:

1.Begin with the end in mind and plan for this end result.

2.Craft the driving question; select and refine a central question.

3.Plan the assessment and define outcomes and assessment criteria.

4.Map the project: Decide how to structure the project.

5.Manage the process: Find tools and strategies for successful projects

Project-based learning can involve, but is not limited to:

-Asking and refining questions

- Debating ideas

-Making predictions

-Designing plans and/or experiments

-Collecting and analyzing data

-Drawing conclusions -

Communicating ideas and findings to others

-Asking new questions

-Creating artifacts

Project based Leaning is learning by doing I can prepare the PBL lesson by focusing on what the students search and do it( means by giving the topic or project title then put it into practice)

We must first help our students to choose the title of the PBL then be collaborative with them in the development of the Plan by correcting them and giving ideas and also guide them.

Re: PBL ideas

In project-based learning (PBL), students work in groups and learn about a subject by addressing a real-world problem or issue. The groups of students then create presentations to share with the rest of the class what they have learned. Unlike conventional teaching approaches, which rely on the teacher to direct learning and control information flows, project-based learning gives students the freedom to explore a subject in a way that suits their learning needs. Teachers and advocates of project-based learning believe that this form of learning enables students to:

  • Develop greater knowledge about a subject;
  • Become more motivated to learn;
  • Improve their research and problem-solving skills;
  • See how what they are learning at school can be used in real life.

PBL as teachers we can plan to use them in classroom where we can set activities to be done by learners.

Teachers must follow learners activities in order to  show them what to do.(to guide them).

Some learners perceive their “world” as a whole, where all things are interconnected and dependent upon each other. These “integrated” students face major challenges in coping with our dominant educational, social, and economic systems, which tend to present information in a linear fashion with out the necessity of integration into meaningful context. Integrated students are at - risk of failing as they attempt to grasp information in ways that do not match their experience. Among large populations of at - risk students are many from Native America n and similar cultures who do not regard their world as a sum of parts but as a blend of all that they experience.

i.First,think of an educational project where students can design, build, create,or
otherwise use hands-on or production-oriented skills to make or do “something”.
Students learn in project-based instruction by doing, creating, thinking, and making something that has a meaningful outcome for them
.Created items can include anything made by hand: artwork, community service
projects, publications, designs, games, science experiments and displays.
ii.Second, briefly describe your project here in the Lesson Overview. What will the students be doing/making? What will they use to do/make it? What additional
educational activities are included? What is the outcome and whoisitfor(self,family, community, office, school, etc)?

When you prepare PBL lesson plan  you can follow this process and check if those requirements are imbedded:

a)      Beginning with driving Questions

This questions are question which stimulate the student’s critical thinking for generate the problem solving ideas to the students and it may cause the students to carry out deeply investigation.

 

b)      Set Inquiry process: here the students allocate the materials and search where they will find the findings based on the question given for finding better solutions ,it in this process the students are assigned the group themselves according the shared capability and collaboration for finding the answer.

c)      Create artifacts: At this steps the students come and analyze the finds and draw the conclusion of findings then make written paper power point, book, journals which proven the real and applicable solution to driving question.

 

d)     Check if the Presentation of the students will be the best:

This the real time for students to present group by group in classroom with project, computers  speakers when the project it regards to whole schools or post or publishing the projects on the blogs , social media or websites their project based learning .  


e)      Look forward Critical review

It will happen that sometimes invited experts, department of teachers and other officials give ideas and comment for ameliorating the project and the agree some financial capacity out of your school you can revise and adapt it to the general interest and positive changes.

Here are a few things to consider if you're just getting started with PBL: 

1. Develop a compelling topic that covers state standards, has an authentic connection to the local community, and provides opportunities for every student to do meaningful, independent research 

2. Develop or design a comprehensive final product that each student will have a role in creating, and could be used by local residents or professionals in the field.

3.  Identify and organize the major learning resources for the expedition, and make sure they're available. (This one is critical and is often left out by schools).

4.  Plan a final experience or culminating event. Showcase student work to the public or outside of school.

Project Based Learning is a teaching method in which students gains knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question, problem, or challenge. Projects are focused on student learning goals and include Essential Project Design Elements: • Key Knowledge, Understanding, and Success Skills - The project is focused on student learning goals, including standards-based content and skills such as critical thinking/problem solving, communication, collaboration, and self-management. • Challenging Problem or Question - The project is framed by a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the appropriate level of challenge. • Sustained Inquiry - Students engage in a rigorous, extended process of asking questions, finding resources, and applying information. • Authenticity - The project features real-world context, tasks and tools, quality standards, or impact – or speaks to students’ personal concerns, interests, and issues in their lives. • Student Voice & Choice - Students make some decisions about the project, including how they work and what they create. • Reflection - Students and teachers reflect on learning, the effectiveness of their inquiry and project activities, the quality of student work, obstacles and how to overcome them. • Critique & Revision - Students give, receive, and use feedback to improve their process and products. • Public Product - Students make their project work public by explaining, displaying and/or presenting it to people beyond the classroom.

In planning for PBL lesson, we must take into account the following:

-allocated time

-availability of resources such as computer, internet...

-to ensure students responsibility

-teacher is a facilitator rather than being authority

-students are working in group(team work)

-students are free to explore the contents of a subject which fit their learning needs

Re: PBL ideas

Projects that come out of project-based learning classrooms are like snowflakes and fingerprints - no two are ever alike. They may share characteristics, topics, subjects and titles, but they’ll always be different. The proposal will be different. The path the student takes to complete the project will be different. The advice from teacher to student will be different. And, of course, the end result will be different. Project-based learning lesson plans are an oxymoron to some degree. At its core, project-based learning is unscripted. There are guides and rubrics and a plethora of other materials to keep both the teacher and student on the right track, but the destination is always unknown, as is the path taken to get there.

2.    Created items can include anything made by hand: artwork, community service

Projects, publications, designs, games, science experiments and displays.

To plan a PBL, we choose the topic first that inspire our students, we search a driving problem in the real world to be solved by the project, we find materials/ aids to be used then we guide the students to formulate objectives then we engage them in project. Note that the PBL must encourage the learners to fully participate, collaborate, make research and link them with other experts in the project to be realized. and the teacher must manage or facilitate the project through guidelines, encouraging research and collaboration.

Re: PBL ideas

Project-based learning, as with all lessons, requires much preparation and planning. It begins with an idea and an essential question. When you are designing the project and the essential question that will launch the activities, it is important to remember that many content standards will be addressed. With these standards in mind, devise a plan that will integrate as many subjects as possible into the project.

Have in mind what materials and resources will be accessible to the students. Next, students will need assistance in managing their time -- a definite life skill. Finally, have multiple means for assessing your students' completion of the project: Did the students master the content? Were they able to apply their new knowledge and skills? Many educators involve their students in developing these rubrics
