Project Based Learning Plans

Our group project this week was to create a project based learning plan. You may visit our google site, Project #13 PBL Lesson Plans by Emily Parmer, Porscha Sellers and Hollie Faulkner, that contains the details of our PBL plan. We chose to create a week long PBL plan on animal classification for a 1st grade class. The students will be able to identify and give details of their assigned animal classification. They will begin with watching an animal classification video that will help them learn about each different class. They will then begin to do research in their groups through  icurio and San Diego Zoo for Kids . After they have had a few days to complete their research they will put their data (pictures, facts, etc.) in the class blog as well as the Popplet app on their iPad. Then  each group will give a presentation to the class. Once the presentations are complete the students will draw their favorite animal from one of the classifications presented. As a class they will do a quick survey to see which animal/class was their favorite and graph the results.
