This term, our Project Based Learning (PBL) started with the teachers putting us into groups. In these groups we had to work collaboratively to create Jolly Jars for the school fair. This task helped us to begin exploring our PBL question for the term - How can we build community through our actions? We had to research ideas, be creative with our product, experiment with our materials and write instructions that could be followed by others.
Here is a link to my instructions.
I learnt that instructions need to be checked and i need a prototype
Reflection on PBL:
For our Jolly Jar my group did door hangers. This is how we did it: we put beads, hanger templates, pom poms and coloured paper in the jar.
I contributed to my group by making the instructions, reading through and fixing the mistakes and encouraged my group.
Our Jolly Jar was creative because it was original and you can be creative
What I learned about working with others was it’s good to work with new people because you learn how to work with people who you don’t usually work with.
How did we build community through our actions? We raised money for the bike track.
Do you think this would help you?
