Whenever I teach a lesson, especially a PBL, I always ask myself this question "will I do this again?" I can tell you that ABSOLUTELY I will do this again!
I have been asked a few questions, the most asked is if it was a lot of work. I can tell you that yes, this PBL required work upfront, during and even after. Once the chickens hatched I had to take care of them for weeks after. I can tell you that it has been worth every minute! My students learned even more that I could have imagined. About a week after our project was finished we had some students from Auburn University come to our school to teach some of the older grades. They came to visit my kids and had planned to share a few things with them, but they later told my principal that my kids taught them!
If you haven't checked out my previous posts about this PBL check them out for more details.
