This detailed writing sample was written by a Grade 7 student at Eston Composite School.  The author discusses the importance of goals, shares their life goals, and explains the importance of breaking the goals down to achieve them. 

An excellent resource for grammar minilessons and activities that follow the transfer of responsibility model. Great videos and opportunities for We do and You do.

"This high quality PBL unit – designed for English, math, and science – invites students and teachers to explore solutions for hunger and malnutrition around the world. For every piece of artwork submitted from the project, the Bezos Family Foundation will donate $3 (up to $700,000) to youth-focused nutrition programs."

So, let me ask you the question: How often do we let students “work the problem” in our schools and classrooms?

Do we give students a chance to figure it out on their own or in a small group? Do we challenge them to solve a challenge in a fixed amount of time? Do we let them struggle and fail to the point where they have to work the problem and find a solution?

With PL - Now every student was “working their own problem” and stumbling, struggling, and fighting to find a solution of how to learn, make, create, and launch an idea out into the world.

“The Martian” is a great example of working the problem. He has to use a multitude of 21st Century Skills, along with his team, and the people back on Earth to work together to survive and get him home.

This resource is an editable PDF and Excel Spreadsheet for Grade 7 Physical Education. The resource will calculate grades as well as provide a snapshot summary for each outcome.
