 * Tools of PBL Design **
 * Begin with the End in Mind
 * ﻿Essential/Driving Question
 * Open-Ended
 * Authentic

 * Example: "How does the political system of today reflect the ideological and philosophical traditions inspired by the Framers of the Constitution?"
 * Create a "Need to Know"
 * ﻿Engagement
 * Hook
 * Inquiry
 * Higher Order Thinking Skills - Create not memorize
 * Don't just answer questions - Create new questions and solve problems!
 * What do we need to know and why?
 * 21st Century Skills
 * Technology to support the project - not be the project
 * Critical Thinking, Collaboration, and Communication are key
 * Student Driven/Teacher Facilitated
 * Allow for student options
 * Want to encourage independent thinking
 * Feedback and Revision
 * Create checks for students - will lead to higher quality work
 * Outside Audience
 * ﻿Teacher and class are NOT enough!
 * Professionals, peers from around the country and world, lower level grades, etc.
