Reading Reflection #11

Chapter 11 - Bringing It Home

1. Description of what occurs as a result of using the Project-based learning approach.

• When a successful project comes to an end, you and your students will feel as if you have "been somewhere" together. Your project should leave you with vivid memories, souvenirs and artifacts you have collected along the way, and plenty more ideas for shaping your next learning adventure. Projects open new doors and create connections that you can build into future project designs. 

2. Discussion on ways to “bring your project home”.

• One way to "bring your project home" is to enter in a contest. It gives you a chance to put your best work forward. You may gain more exposure for your project and your students which all can help raise the profile of what you are doing in your classroom. 

3. Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.

• The concepts in this chapter relate to my topic by having and allowing our students to learn from the work that we did in the project and use those skills in the future. Giving students memories on the success of a project gives them positive attitudes of being independent and have them be able to create new and exciting projects in the future.
