Donut House

The Donut House reminded me of PBL: Project Base Learning. PBL is the concept that student go out into the community and learn about a business and create it in their classroom by bring it to fruition. The concept of PBL came to life in Mrs. Davidson Kindergarten class as her student obtained the applicable knowledge of everyday skills like getting a building permit, running a business, marketing, hiring and firing, and many other components. I was a part of a PBL project that had students build the new city pool and all the steps that would go into that business project. I introduced the project to freshmen and sophomores by the beginning letter requesting their input; which can be real to a degree or be complete real! It is easy to kindly ask business individuals to explain a typical project and how they might want outside resources or opinions ie the students. By giving students a chance to design a business or project that is applicable to the real world will increase their motivation and comprehension about content that is mixed into everyday occupations.
