Chapter 9

 It is good to have students write brief summaries as to what there current knowledge on a topic is, this way the teacher get get an understanding to what they already know. The KWL  is also a useful tool, having students complet the KWL and read them aloud to the rest of the class or turn it into the teacher.

it is easy to get an understanding  where individual students are in the beggining of their projects and the work they need to put in to that project by establishing an anchor because In a PBL based classroom the opportunities to use different types of instruction in order to help every type of learner complete their project in a full manner.

A type of assessment that can be used is to conference with the students as to what they learned. an idea would also be to use video taping, interviews with each student so the teacher can look back on them and analyze each students differences. At the end of a project the teacher could have the students complete a separate activity so the could summarize what they learned while working through their projects. One way to evaluate the work of your students is to use a modeled real world assessment, to do this, the teacher would have the students apply the professional skills in a specific area.

This chapter was very useful to our project subject. since our subject is birding, it could be difficult in finding ways as to assess the students. The chapter was able to provide solid examples as to ways we could go about doing this.
