brainstorm activity before the lesson.
 I will be teaching the material to the class before they begin
their activities and final presentations.
 As they are working in groups, I will be circling the room and
making sure each group is on task and answering any
questions they may have.
 Your child will be assessed by the digital poster that they are
creating and presenting to the class.

PBL
 PBL stands for Project based learning which I will be incorporating
in the classroom during this unit.
 This means that your child will be participating in groups to
complete a final presentation of their knowledge from the unit.
 This project helps them grasp the new material and be able to
connect it to the outside world.
 Students will learn many different skills such as communication
and collaboration, technology, self direction, critical thinking and
problem solving through project based learning.
 This is a fun way to learn the material and assess the students
knowledge and understanding of this new unit we are covering.
