What is Project Based Learning?
One that fulfills two criteria: First, students must perceive the work
as personally meaningful, as a task that matters and that they want to do well.
Second, a meaningful project fulfills an educational purpose.

Let the students take on the roles of scientists, historians, screenwritters...
And expect the type of products these experts might produce.

So open the classroom doors and look at the world.

Again, keep it real!
Analyze the benefits of the results for both the individuals and the group/community.
Learn about rubrics as teacher's guidance.
Try writing journals, so that students reflect on their thinking and problem-solving processes

Encourage self-assessment and reflection
You and your students need to get ready for 21st century skills.
To boost collaboration skills, work on role-playing and team-building activities.
You need to learn how to use time and task organizers.
