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 BookA4 Sheets, which will later be
documented in the Computer.
