What is PBL (Project Based Learning)?
In Project Based Learning (PBL), students go through an extended process of inquiry in response to a complex question, problem, or challenge. While allowing for some degree of student "voice and choice," rigorous projects are carefully planned, managed, and assessed to help students learn key academic content, practice 21st Century Skills (such as collaboration, communication & critical thinking), and create high-quality, authentic products & presentations.
Why use PBL?
Students gain a deeper understanding of the concepts and standards at the heart of a project. Projects also build vital workplace skills and lifelong habits of learning. Projects can allow students to address community issues, explore careers, interact with adult mentors, use technology, and present their work to audiences beyond the classroom. PBL can motivate students who might otherwise find school boring or meaningless.

Our Project
Our aim was to write a poem on 'Rain' in our English lessons. We decided to extend our learning using PBL and integrated other subjects areas like Mathematics, Science, Geography and Art to conduct research on the same topic.
It was a great learning experience and we had a lot of fun compiling the project and put it on this website.
