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: surviving in the desert by growing food and saving water. Imagine being in a team of sustainability experts who have to find new and creative ways to help people live in the desert. The team need to think of smart solutions to the problems with saving water and growing food in the desert.

We will produce: a "Survival Guide" poster – how to grow food and save water in the desert.

Surviving in the Desert: Growing Food and Saving Water

In this project: • my group will learn about problems deserts face, like saving water and growing food. • my group will find smart solutions using technology, nature, and teamwork to help deserts. • my group will create a "Survival Guide" poster with easy and creative ideas. • my group will work as a team to create and explain our ideas to others. • my group will read about desert problems and solutions, write short labels for our poster, explain our ideas clearly, 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!
