Shifting to some "PBL"






After doing a unit on making predictions, identifying story elements, and making inferences - we decided that instead of doing a test - we would do a project!   Students had to make a movie poster identifying key elements of the story yet at the same time leaving suspense.  What a fun experience this was!   Students had a blast figuring out how they wanted to design their posters and enjoyed collaborating with one another for feedback, ideas, and even grades!   Being able to shift the control from me to them has once again proven to be a rewarding experience.  Why was I so scared of this before!?!?!
