"According to Balltzglier, the program involves:
* I- I choose my book.
* P- Purpose "Why am I reading this?"
* I- Interest "Do I like it?"
* C- Comprehension "Do I understand what I am reading?"
* K- Know "Do I know most the words?"
"Then we put the lesson to music with song, dance, and motions," the teacher added. "This helps make the lesson stick."
"Have you tried Project-based Learning in your history or social studies classroom? Was it awesome? Was it challenging?
And, if you haven't tried to implement PBL, what's stopping you? Predetermined curricular standards? Pushback from admin? A difficult fit with the school culture?
We'd like to argue that you can and should implement Project-based Learning in your history classroom. It doesn't have to be perfect. Take some elements of PBL and try them a bit at a time. Small steps can turn a stale unit into a truly meaningful, real-world learning experience - even if it's not pure PBL."
