Case Study #4: PBL in 8th Grade Classroom04/01/2013

Analyze one more video from the point of view of:

A. What is the nature of the case? Students worked in an eighth-grade classroom on a PBL project where they constructed a PSA.  They integrated reading, writing, revision, and the standards during the whole process.  Additionally, the structure of the PBL offered enhancing their skills in technology, research and collaboration.

B. Share some descriptive details: Students worked together and independently to construct this PSA.  The expectations for their project were very clearly planned out and clarified to them on a step-by-step basis.  They were given planning packets and met with the teacher and students to “pitch” their ideas and later presented their project to an editing team, too.  

C. What new and useful information did you learn? This lesson really helped shape how technology could be integrated into an eighth grade language arts classroom to enhance learning.  It clarifies the differences between understanding the theory of a PBL classroom and how it is applied to both a standard and real-world application.  

D. Could you potentially use this lesson? I not only could use this lesson, but will plan one for next year.  I’m concerned about the use of the Imovie since our school doesn’t have Apple computers.  

Rate the film experience 1 – 5:
 Score 5—useful, clear and applicable.
