  • Project Based Learning
• Mrs. Jenkins uses project based learning in her classroom. If you are unfamiliar with project based learning, pbl-online.org describes it best, "Project Based Learning is generally done by groups of students working together toward a common goal. Performance is assessed on an individual basis, and takes into account the quality of the product produced, the depth of content understanding demonstrated, and the contributions made to the ongoing process of project realization."

  
  

• Project based learning (PBL) will be used in World History throughout the year as we complete our cumulative project step-by-step at the conclusion of each unit. Additionally, student progress will be measured by the mastery of individual units throughout the school year.
