Defined Learning: Project-based Learning

We have been piloting this program, in the library for the past 2 months, it is fantastic.  It is a Project-based teaching platform that is easy to use and has all the resources attached.  If our "social distancing" ends up taking longer than expected, this may be a great tool to use.  All projects are STEM related and allow a student to see a problem through a career-type lens.

Mrs. Call's 12th grade English classes decided to grapple with the text of Shakespeare in a very hands-on way.  By splitting each English class into two book-clubs, one club studying Macbeth and the other Twelfth Night, she was able to give students the opportunity to experience more. With smaller groups and the help of the librarians she, Mrs. Osmond and Mrs. Suloff helped Shakespeare come to life.

Who knew 12th graders could talk Shakespeare?
