Project-Based Learning

Project Based Learning is an innovative model for teaching and learning which engages students in activities, which may be carried on in the school or outside.
It requires students to carry out a task in cooperative groups over a period of few days or weeks.
It involves students in, organizing their activities, compiling their own knowledge base, problem-solving investigations and synthesizing information, which results in a model, written report or a display.
Project Based Learning helps students develop skills and strategies associated with planning, carrying out, monitoring, and evaluating a variety of investigations and integrates them into a lifelong learning.
Projects are often interdisciplinary.
It creates a climate within which students can learn and practice a variety of "learning to learn" skills and dispositions.
It supports the many tasks facing teachers today such as meeting state standards, infusing higher-order thinking skills, guiding students in life choices, and providing experiences that tap individual student interests and abilities.

Topic: Creating comic strips

Providing a situation
In society, we communicate information/ideas through various media (words, symbols, illustrations, etc). When analyzing comic strips, it is noticeable that each has a different style, point of view, setting, plot and summary, communicated not only through words, but also through illustrations and its style. Creating comic strips can summarize various ideas through illustrations that otherwise could not be expressed through words alone.
