Project-based learning examples

 As a follow-up to Task 5 (Project-based tasks that support reflective practice and build critical thinking skills), I invite you to share ideas, links, and materials for YOUR PBL lesson plans, or others that you have tried.

Here are several tried and tested projects that you are welcome to adapt and use in your classes:

Some are very well developed, and some less so. Two of them are based around novels (“The Giver” and “Holes”), so include literature circles and other creative, group-based interaction ideas. 

The Giver has a folder (“Scanned Chapters for the Giver”) that has a concordances of all of the modal verbs in the text, so you can see how grammar instruction might be integrated into the project.

Some of the projects are clearly for beginner levels, and others for more advanced learners.

On the other hand, there have been times when my own teaching, as well as that of other teachers I have observed, has been more or less effective and I think that experience and training are helping me to identify why that may be. This hardly constitutes a philosophy, more a collection of guidelines about which I feel quite strongly. In no particular order, they are as follows: • People who don’t have much second language learning experience really do not know the best way for them to learn languages. It takes time to learn how to ...

 Follow-up tasks before October 19th   1.        “Observe” yourself in one or more classes over the next week, specifically focusing on your questioning style (choice/product/process/metaprocess). Try to estimate the proportion of each.   2.        Write a brief blog post about what you observe, reflecting on how you could incorporate a more varied questioning style into your teaching – and whether you need to.   3.        Read TWO colleagues’ blog posts and comment on one (or more, if you like). Practice using the “Powerful Questions”, especially those in the “Discovering opportunities”, “Planning”, and “Facing obstacles” sections.
