Project-Design

From the 2015 PBLL ISI:
Throughout these first few days we have worked on what makes a high quality PBLL.

It's important to start using the new Gold Standard PBL

Thereafter, you need to work on creating an engaging Driving Question. Some resources that are available are:

• PBLWorks resources
• Refining Driving Questions
• How do I create driving questions for my project? using Tubric TM
• Driving Question Round Robin 

Thanks to the experiences, techniques and guidelines shared by our presenters @senoralopez and @L_Scheller_BIE (Do follow them on Twitter),  we have access to this document "World Language Product Guide by level" which helps you align your final product to your challenging problem or question.

Furthermore, we also looked at some authentic ideas that can inspire your projects:

• What does it take for a project to be “authentic”
• Spanish project ideas transferable to other languages BY @sraspanlish
• Arabic project example

Topics: What is PBLL? / Design Planning / Learning Outcomes Menu /Crafting an Entry Level / Scaffolding Reading, and much more.

Crafting a compelling Entry Event to Launch your project: By using the idea of developing a unique meal, you need to:

• ​Visualize clientele,
• ​develop a list of ingredients,
• iterate plate designs,
• prepare for a tasting.

This metaphor refers to having our students design or create a final product that in collaboration with the target audience can serve/aid them in the target language. Do note that PBLL is not intended for our language learners to all of a sudden become saviors of those in the target culture/language.

This is a useful checklist to make sure your PBLL fosters authenticity, sustained inquiry and community connections.

Although a work in progress, the following is an infographic of my "product square" prototype which makes reference to my upcoming PBLL:
