After reading about Project Based Learning, I began to look online for examples of PJBL teachers have used in the past. I was particularly inspired by one idea: the idea of prompting students to come up with a design for a colony on Mars.

The website where I found the idea did not expand upon it at all, so below is my idea for a PJBL project on this topic - in Popplet form! To be completely honest, now I want to do this assignment!



Something else I created to match this theme is a Tagxedo word cloud.

This word cloud was created with words I found online related to the colonization of Mars. If I were to run the PJBL explained above, I would put up this word cloud as a part of Setting the Stage. I would ask students what words in the cloud stood out to them, and which ones they knew the meaning of (but not the super tiny ones!).

Until next time,
😊 Morgan
