This project could easily be adapted to become more than it is. This project integrates written and oral language skills along with math to help students understand what makes a business successful. Kids are interested in making money, so why not let them come up with a business idea?

Project Idea: Your catering company is bidding on a job to plan a birthday party for a 13-year old.Given a budget of $250, you will submit a party proposal for 30 guests that includes a budget spreadsheet, written description of party and events, menu, map of room, and an oral presentation.

One of the project ideas I came across on the BIE website. The exploration of biomes works well with our ecosystems unit.

This article by Melinda Kolk, supports the same argument about the value an authentic audience can have on learning as the Monica Burns article. What I liked about Kolk's thinking that was different, was the idea of a flexible audience. Different groups may have different audiences based on the information and stakeholders the groups choose. Kolks also stressed the need for not just authentic audiences, but for authentic and real-world problems, which might influence who the audience is. The article suggests focusing on ideas that matter, work that matters, and effort that matters (Move from Projects to Project-Based Learning, 2022).

A Gardener's Dilemma Project Idea: Students act as community members and set aside plots of land for local citizens to establish small gardens.Students will design a plan for a family garden plot. I will adapt this PBL to include technology, ELA, Science and of course, Mathematics for elementary students. I like that it is a real-world skill, affecting everyone and involves community planning.
