Milestone One and Two

Welcome to Project-Based Learning and Assessment (PBLA)

Project-based Learning and Assessment (PBLA) is a way of learning by doing! It is a different way of learning and getting grades than taking tests. It helps us work on solving real world problems, learn about big issues and think of new ways to make a difference. Working on projects also helps us learn important skills.

Through PBLA, I can: • explore real-world problems • build important skills • work well in a team • be innovative • show what I have learned

I promise to: • connect our projects to our community • respect our classmates' different backgrounds and skills • understand what our projects are about and how they will be graded • share ideas with others • appreciate what everyone brings to our projects • listen to our teachers' feedback and use it to learn and get better This guide will help me with my PBLA journey. It tells me what I need to do to get good scores and show my best work in PBLA. I am ready to work hard, create, and make a positive difference!

Our project is about: designing a sustainable neighbourhood. Imagine being part of a team that is asked to design a new sustainable neighbourhood. The team will research sustainable cities and decide on the important features and new solutions for their own design.

We will produce: a map showing an environmentally friendly neighbourhood design.

Our Sustainable Neighbourhood Plan

In this project: • my group will create a map showing an environmentally friendly neighbourhood. • my group will learn how to design a place where people can live happily and care for the planet. • my group will read about environmentally friendly ideas, write short labels for our map, speak clearly to explain our design and listen to and answer our classmates when they ask questions.

Steps for Success، Brainstorm Ideas

Start with a question: What problem are you trying to solve? Write everything down: Every idea is a good idea at this stage! Think of real-life examples: What have you seen that could help? Work as a team: Share your ideas and listen to others. Be creative: Imagine new ways to do things, even if they seem unusual. Build on ideas: Share a classmate's idea and make it even better. Keep it simple: Small ideas can make a big difference!
