I teach English skills with an emphasis on communication. In October, I introduced Project Based Learning (PBL) to my students. Our first assignment began with the essential question, How do people affect the world? We started by brainstorming the names of people who have had a significant effect on the world. Through the process, we concluded that character traits play an important role in shaping our environment. From there, students worked in groups, concentrating on one particular character trait to demonstrate its value in society. Students were asked to choose a multimedia format such as a talk show, game show, or news broadcast to promote their character traits. Each group was responsible for writing a script, filming a movie, producing Powerpoint slides, and journaling its reflections. By working together, students were using critical and creative thinking skills in an active and authentic learning environment. In addition, it proved to be a more enjoyable way for them to acquire technology and teamwork skills. After each group's movie was made, all the movies were combined into one presentation, which we are happy to share on weripple.com Student Work
