PBL document

11/5 (PBL BRAINSTORMING!)

Project Brainstorming: Getting Started

Part A: Select Student Learning Goals for Your Project

Your project should be focused on teaching students key knowledge and understanding derived from standards.

Content Areas & General Topics

Standards & Other Goals

Visual Art-Introduction to Cardboard/Sculpture/Architecture/Working in Three Dimensions

VA:Cr1.1.Ia I can use multiple approaches to planning a sculpture. VA:Cr1.2.Ia I can create a sculpture that reflects the present and allows me to develop a personal vision VA:Cr2.1.Ia I can be flexible and spontaneous in creating a sculpture. VA:Cr2.2.Ia I can explain how traditional and non-traditional materials can be used in sculpture may impact human health and the environment. VA:Cr2.2.Ia I can demonstrate the safe use of materials, tools, and equipment used for sculpting. VA:Cr2.3.Ia I can collaboratively develop a proposal for a sculpture that transforms the perception and experience of a particular place. VA:Cr3.1.Ia I can give and receive criticism based on criteria to improve my sculpture and the sculptures of others.

Part B: Develop a Project Idea

Your project should have a real-world context connected to your students’ pathway.  It should be connected to students’ own concerns, interests and/or identities.

Project Idea:

Intro to Sculpture/Architecture/Cardboard...Students will work together to design & build an architectural model for a structure of their choice.

 Part C: Decide on Major Products

Your project should allow students to make some choices about the products they create, how they work and/or how they use their time.

 Part D: Determine Your Driving Questions

Your project should be based on a meaningful problem to solve or a question to answer, at the appropriate level of challenge for students.  The question should be open-ended & engaging.

Driving Question:	•How could sculptural skills benefit you in another discipline or career? How to work together to complete a project?
Draft
Refined

Part E: Questions To Consider

How do you differentiate for students academically and behaviorally?

How do you ensure that students are giving and receiving feedback?

What opportunities are you giving for student reflection?

Can your project be connected to at least one of the five Backpack Success Skills?

Part F: Project Idea Summary

Summarize your project ideas here...
