10. Explanation of
PBL
• The way that I will use Project-Based Learning in
my classroom is to have my students that are at the
same table to investigate and tell me what they
already know about rhyming words. Then we will all
come together and share as a class on what we all
think rhyming is. After that I will tell them and give
them some examples. Once we have done that I will
give them a list of word then as a group they will
come up with words that rhyme with the ones that
I have already given them. This lets them use their
imagination and learn at the same time.
• I will then read the Dr. Seuss’s I have a “Wocket in
my Pocket.”
