PBL Activity Guidelines for SIED 5323

Title

Utilize a Heading that will immediately grab the attention of the reader and promote a connection to the overall theme – For example “Who’s the Polluter” or “Anarchy Science”.

Guiding Question for Activity and Introduction

What is the overall purpose of the activity and how does it relate to developing the understanding of the overall problem as identified for the PBL?

TEKS Addressed (by subject area as appropriate)

What specific objectives are you focusing on within the activity? Remember to keep the list short so that you do not try and reach too many single objectives within a given activity. As a rule of thumb, it is best to have 1-3 objectives as a maximum for a single activity. You can also make this multidisciplinary by including TEKS (or objectives) from other subject areas, but again, use caution, so as not to try and do too many for any single given activity.
