2.1 Essential
Question:
Put in
writing the question that will engage the students
2.2 Grouping
Strategy:
Describe the
criteria that will be used to form students team and how this maps to
the goals of the project.
Team will comprise groups of 6 students of mixed gender, and mixed ability and skills. One of the goals is to promote teamwork in mixed ability groups so that higher ability students get opportunities for peer instruction, and lower ability students benefit from the more advanced collaboration that will arise from this.
2.3 Learning
Environment:
Describe the
learning environment for the project including any classroom
adaptation that will be required.
2.4 Assessment
Approach:
Describe the approach for:
2.4.1 Authentic
Assessment:
- Authentic do- able tasks that will be carried out by the team will include-1. Maintaining a record of the information collected from various sources including the internet and school library.2. Recording the survey and interviews conducted as well as summarizing the same and presenting as a report.3. Analysis of the data collected from various sources.4. Preparation of the project report and charts required for project presentation

associated with them.
- Computer lab: Date and period in the Time Table.
3.6 Direct
Instruction:
List any planned
direct instruction sessions and link them to specific tasks if
appropriate.
- Basics of congruence of plane figuresConducting a surveyThe criteria of congruence of triangles
3.7 Reviews
and checkpoints:
Describe how you will incorporate
review meetings and checkpoints in the project
- At the end of every week there will be a 20 minutes class conference to discuss progress, successes and challenges.A checkpoint meeting for each team will be held for 10 minutes twice per week.
3.8 Assessment
plan:
Describe
the balanced assessment plan for the project. List products that will
be assessed during the project. List rubrics that need to be created
before project launch.
- Opportunities for authentic assessment will include: the surveys and results, Games for SSS, SAS, ASA, RHS criteria & presenting the briefings.Formative assessment will primarily focus on the artifacts created by the students during the project. Special attention will be paid to survey prototypes, learning journals and presentation outlines.Summative assessments will be performed on the survey results, presentations on practical applications of congruence of triangles and the portfolios of work.

Prepare work plan in
the format given below.
Project Plan – Lesson 5
The Do Phase
(5.1) Project Launch:
Describe how the
project will be launched, including how goals, expectation, rules,
procedures, assessment, and grading will be presented to the
students.
The
project will be launched as a group meeting with the whole class.
There will be a presentation covering goals, expectations, rules,
procedures, assessment and grading. Students will be invited to
discuss any of the above and we may make change as a result. The
final presentation will be printed and displayed in the classroom
as well as being posted in PBL Blog
Define, plan, do, and review cycles
will be discussed.

(5.2)
Artifacts:
List artifacts that will be created
during the project
Research notes
Survey designs
Message boards (may be
through’ email/blog/what’s app) (as demonstration of team
collaboration)
Presentation outlines

(5.3) Culminating
product:
Describe what culminating
product or products are expected to be created during the project and
how they will be presented.
Data sheets will be
informally presented by each team to the whole class and posted in
the classroom.
presentations will be
made by each team to the whole class.
Posting in Blog will be presented by each team to
the teacher.
|
(5.4) Celebrating
completion:
Describe how the
students will celebrate when the project is completed.
A “mini exhibition” of the project will be
held in the school with students’ parents invited as special
guests. Certificates of completion will be awarded to each
student.

Project Plan - Lesson 6
The Review Phase
(6.1)Student
Reflection and Evaluation:
Describe how
student reflection and evaluation will be conducted.
One lesson after
the end of the project will be dedicated to student reflection and
evaluation. Their reflection will cover: what topics I learned
about, what new skills I learned, what I liked about the project,
what I didn’t like about the project and what I would do
differently on the next project. An evaluation form will be
completed by each student as a homework assignment.
A subsequent lesson will be used to discuss
the observations made by the students. |
(6.2) Teacher
Reflection and Evaluation:
Describe how
teacher reflection and evaluation will be conducted.
I have prepared a
teacher reflection and evaluation form to complete that covers:

Progress Monitoring:
Describe
how program will be monitored throughout the project.
Group Progress

(7.5)
Re-planning:
Describe how
‘re-planning’ will be used if the project goes off track
Since student
autonomy is low there is low risk of the project going off track.
10% additional time allowance has been included for overrun but
the end date cannot be exceeded. There is an option for homework
to be used to catch up if necessary.
|
(7.6) Conflict
Management:
Describe how to
address problems related to participation, offer approaches to manage
other conflicts that may arise.
In the real world congruent triangles are used in construction when we need to reinforce structures so that they are strong and stable and do not bend or break quickly.
