Project Based Learning
Lesson 2
2.1 Essential
Question:
Put in writing the question that will engage the students
If managed properly, fire will always remain as your best friend, never your foe. Do you think it is possible?
2.2 Grouping
Strategy:
Describe the criteria that will be used to form students’ team and how this maps to the goals of the project.
GROUP FORMATION:
NINE teams of FIVE students each were formed.
Initially, nine students with language proficiency
were selected. The nine leaders were made to take lots of numbers 1-9. Then the
rest of the class was made to tell numbers 1-9, according to the sequence in
their seating arrangement. Groups were formed as per the numbers that they were
called out. All the ONEs went to GROUP 1, TWOs to GROUP 2 and so on.
Once the
Grouping was done, the Leaders took the lots once more, for choosing the topics
that they had to work on.
One of the
students was chosen as the Project Secretary. His role would be to coordinate
the work between the Groups and the teacher.
GROUP COMPOSITION:
Each Group
comprises of students belonging to different gender, learning abilities and
talents. Thus the groups can be considered to be heterogeneous.
The presence of
varied abilities and skills within a single Group would help in sharing the
views and dividing the work according to the ability. These interactions would
help in bringing out the desired output with maximum perfection. Moreover, the
inter-personal skills and communication skills will be enhanced.
2.3 Learning
Environment:
Describe the learning environment for the project including
any classroom adaptation that will be required.

CLASSROOM
ADAPTATION:
The classroom will be the place which will be
utilized to the maximum for compiling the work. The seating arrangement can be
modified as per the need. The Library and the Computer Labs can be made use of
for collecting data/information. At times the entire class can be brought out
so that they can conveniently sit, discuss and go ahead with the documentation
of the Project. Compiling of the data will initially be done in the Scrap
Book/ A 4 Sheets, which will later be documented in the Computer.
