Are humans wild at heart? and other epic English projects for Years 9-10 /
"This book has been structured into three distinct parts, designed to help you feel supported in your PBL [project based learning]. Part one: The what, why and how of project based learning. The first part of the book provides you with some background information about the nature and purpose of PBL, as well as outlining key strategies to ensure a successful and enjoyable learning experience for you and your students. This section also includes a discussion of how assessment works in PBL, as well as the relationship between PBL and the Australian Curriculum's General Capabilities. Part two: Sample projects. The second part of the book provides you with a selection of sample projects suitable for students in Years 9 and 10. You will be pleasantly surprised that a lot of the activities in this section look familiar - that's because PBL is about taking the best teaching strategies and re-purposing them. The difference with PBL I that it empowers students to see a purpose for their learning beyond the classroom and to feel confident that they know where they are headed while they move through the project process. Part three: Additional resources. The third part of the book is full of extra resources to help you design and run your own engaging projects for your English classes." - Back cover.
