5.2 Define the Introduction and Conclusion of PBL

Start strong, end stronger. The first and last moments of a project are the ones students remember most.

This lesson shows how to open your project with an entry event, a special moment that makes students curious and eager to get involved: a video, a guest speaker, a story or a problem to solve. For History in Pictures, it could be a meeting with people from the local archive. You’ll then see how to plan a final event where students share their work with a real audience, like the community supper at the end of Breaking Bread. And why it’s a good idea to plan it together with your students.

Win them at the start, and you’re already halfway there!
