Opis

Project-Based Learning; its a term that most educators have heard and probably have heard goodthings about, Often, though, they arent quite sure precisely what its defining characteristics are otherthan involving students in projects that are supposed to somehow result in their learning things ofvalue.A great many teachers are reluctant to make it part of what they do with their students due tounfounded fears of unrealistic workloads and classroom management issues associated with it.This book should help change that, making the nature of PBL (Project-Based Learning) clear andillustrating how it can be a manageable, effective, and very enjoyable aspect of instruction.The book will present an exciting, alternative approach to literacy instruction that its authors call Project Based Literacy. Thiswill principally be done through the presentation of 20 appealing projects, all of them carefully designed to engage and inspirestudents (grades 3 - 8) in literacy activities that are both core to the required curriculum and deeply in-synch with the CommonCore Standards in English Language Arts. The book will also present support material for this, providing sufficient theory,instructional and classroom management tips, and technology and other How To information to ensure that rank and fileclassroom teachers can adopt, adapt, and enjoyably and successfully implement the projects and maximize learning in relation tothe Common Core Standards for ELA.
