PBL QUARTER 2

Welcome Scholars to our second round of PBL! Remember, deadlines matter! Teamwork is so important because everyone in the group works together to meet the same goal. (Multiple Pathways) 
  • What will you create to show your understanding of this question and how will you create it? What do you need to know? 

  • How will you present your understanding to a group of people who have lived through past generations? (Many grandparents and senior citizens that we will connect with and have opportunities to interview)
