  1. Access introductory reading below entitled 'PBL Design Considerations'. Ensure you are familiar with the issues when designing Project Based Learning Lesson.
  2. In the forum below entitled 'PBL Design Forum' post your opinion on these two considerations:
  • What area of your syllabus lends itself to student project work?
  • Within that syllabus topic what open ended question do you think would be ideal for students to consider and attempt to solve?
  3. Make sure you reply to your colleagues' posts.


 4. Now that we have some general ideas we need to start planning a real project. Open the planning template below, entitled 'PBL Planning Template' and fill in …

  • A title for your own project;
  • A description of your project;
  • Develop a question that will guide the students to use higher order thinking skills in order to answer them but will also provide the stimulus for their investigations. This question should be around a real-world problem.
5. Upload this template with a unique name so that you can access it again as we will use it in the next training.
