The Thinking Entrepreneur PBL project is really starting to take shape. This module – weeks 9 and 10 - continued to add to the project with the introduction of the Culminating Activity, the creation of final assessments and the development of the Reflections section of the project. As well, the topic of Differentiation was discussed.
The Culminating Activity is so important to the overall success of the project. It answers questions about the learning of the students. Did the students find the answer to the Driving Question and the sub questions? Did these students gain experience in using 21st Century Skills? Its purpose is to bring together everything the business strives to do – having students learn the characteristics of running a successful business and making money for its shareholders. The activity includes a presentation and a distribution of dividends to all stakeholders including shareholders, admin and parents. Very exciting. Here are descriptions of the final assessments that will be used in this activity.
The Reflections section of the project is also important for student learning. The students will do self-assessments, peer assessments and a final reflection in regards to the project. There will be many group and class discussions that will help students as they learn about creating a successful business. Students will also be involved in a shared Google Doc that will not only answer questions about the project including what went well and what the class could have done better, but, also, let the students voice their opinions about the project as a whole. The final reflection will show the learning from the student’s point of view.
