PROJECT BASED LEARNINGWhy do it?

• plan, draft and publish imaginative, informative and persuasive texts, selecting aspects of subject matter and particular language, visual, and audio features to convey information and ideas (ACELY1725)

• plan, rehearse and deliver presentations, selecting and sequencing appropriate content, including multimodal elements, to reflect a diversity of viewpoints (ACEY1720, ACEY1731)

• use and reflect on metacognitive processes used for planning, including brainstorming, mindmapping, storyboarding, role-play and improvisation(EN4-9E)

• identify, plan and prioritise stages of tasks, making use if organisational strategies such as drawing up a schedule, monitoring progress and meeting deadlines (EN4-9E)

• understand the roles and responsibilties of individuals in groups, performing an allocated role responsibly in a group and assessing the success of individual and collaborative processes (EN4-9E)

The Australian Curriculum: English assists students to develop the skills necessary to investigate, analyse and communicate ideas and information related to sustainability, and to advocate, generate and evaluate actions for sustainable futures.

The personal and social capability involves students in a range of practices including recognising and regulating emotions, developing empathy for and understanding of others, establishing positive relationships, making responsible decisions, working effectively in teams and handling challenging situations constructively.

OUR SHITTY WORLD

CREATORS OF KNOWLEDGE

= OWNERS OF KNOWLEDGE

The HSC is a blunt instrument ... … and we are all being beaten to

death by it one mindless, pre-prepared essay at a time.

H.S.C.

I have enjoyed the fact that this project based learning seems to unite more the work done in class and the work done at home. Especially when done with Edmodo, and in groups, the classes and homework become less separate. Without this it is very much learning the information at school and then working on something with that information at home to get a good mark, whereas the project-based learning sort of unites these two better together, as its all just working together with the class to create or finish something. Has it challenged me to think differently as a learner or about English. I would have to say probably not, but I don't think this is the fault of the project-based learning but rather the fault of the way that teachers are required to teach in school. It seems to me that school is completely driven by the HSC test at the end of the year. Far less do you hear a teacher say "this is interesting to know" than you hear "you will need to know this for the HSC". Since everything is focused around this test that gets you into university or tafe or whatever, I don't really think you consider yourself as a 'learner' at school but rather as going through a year of obstacles, that if you achieve well in, you will later be able to do the important learning at university or tafe or wherever. Since school is run by the HSC people view school as a means to get to a place where you learn, not as a place where you learn. So I don't think under this that project based learning can change the way I think as a learner, because the goal of school is only to get somewhere else, not to learn. This is in my opinion :P However I would say that this is not true all the time :P
