DISSECTING THE PBL PROCESS

Design Structure

http://ali.apple.com/cbl/

Big Idea

a broad concept that can be explored in multiple ways, is engaging, and has importance to high school students and the larger society

Examples –

Diversity

Sustainability

Essential Question

identify what is important to know about the big idea and refine and contextualize that idea

Examples –

What is cultural identity and how does it define you?

How does my water consumption impact my world?

Challenge

a challenge is articulated that asks students to create a specific answer or solution that can result in concrete, meaningful action

Example –

Create cross-cultural connections at your school

Improve your home, school, or community use of water.

Guiding Questions

generated by the students, these questions represent the knowledge students need to discover to successfully meet the challenge

Examples –

How do we use water? How much do we use? How is water wasted?How can water be conserved?

Guiding Activities

lessons, simulations, games, and other types of activities to help students answer the guiding questions and set the foundation for them to develop innovative, insightful, and realistic solutions

Example – Calculate Your Individual Water Footprint

Guiding Resources

focused set of resources can include podcasts, websites, videos, databases, experts, and so on that support the activities and assist students with developing a solution

Example - WaterSense Quiz from the Environmental Protection Agency’

www.epa.gov/watersense/water/text.htm

Solution(s)

each solution should be thoughtful, concrete, actionable, clearly articulated, and presented in a publishable multimedia format

Assessment

solution can be assessed for its connection to the challenge, accuracy of the content, clarity of communication, applicability for implementation, and efficacy of the idea

the process that the individuals as well as teams went through in getting to a solution can also be assessed, capturing the development of 21st century skills

Publishing

students are encouraged to publish their results online, soliciting feedback

Exemplar – Energy

Big Idea = Energy

Essential Question = What is the impact of my fossil fuel consumption?

Challenge = Reduce your family’s fossil fuel consumption.

http://ali.apple.com/cbl/challenges/sustainability/energy.html

Energy

Guiding Questions =

What is a fossil fuel?

Where does my family use fossil fuels?

What is made from fossil fuels?

How much gas does my family use in one week?

What are the alternatives to fossil fuels?


Energy

Guiding Activities =

Learn About Fossil Fuels

Students research and develop a clear definition of fossil fuels.

How Much Fossil Fuel Do You Own?

Students create a list of products that have fossil fuels in them. They do an inventory of all the items in their homes that contain fossil fuel and investigate alternatives to these items.


Energy

Guiding Resources =

Energy Story: Fossil Fuels—Coal, Oil and Natural GasThe California Energy Commission provides an overview of fossil fuels.www.energyquest.ca.gov/story/chapter08.html

Energy EfficiencyThe Energy Information Administration provides information for students about energy consumption and efficiency.www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/efficiency/savingenergy_secondary.html
