- allows student voice & choice is integral-- Projects are developed based on students' interests & within the PBL, they should have choice of activities &/or products.
- involves a public audience (other than their classmates & teachers)-- Students present their work to other people, either in person or online. This component "ups the stakes" & increases student motivation to do quality work.

A couple of our awesome student-created dinosaur costumes |
My class was SUPER excited about it! Each child choose a dinosaur to learn more about & develop their project.
We talked about what kinds of things they could do, & they came up with these choices:
- Puppets
- Posters
- Costumes

I gave them a Research Guide to help them through the process. (You can grab the freebie by clicking on the picture). We also typed up our research in a Voki....which they absolutely loved! We finished up the projects on Friday, took pictures & filmed for the museum people then we took our show on the road!
