A lesson plan with Project Based Learning

1. Project- Based Learning Activity
Learning
Reading through Art
Project Based Learning is a
teaching method in which students gain knowledge and skills by
working for an extended period of time to investigate and
respond to an authentic, engaging and complex question,
problem, or challenge( http://www.bie.org/about/what_pbl).
According to (Larmar and Mergendoller, 2010), [ Schoolwork is
more meaningful when it's not done only for the teacher or the
test. When students present their work to a real audience, they
care more about its quality. Once again, it's "the more, the
better" when it comes to authenticity. Students might replicate
the kinds of tasks done by professionals—but even better, they
might create real products that people outside school use.]

forest.
