On December 18th, we started working on a PBL about inventing your own toy that can stand the test of time. I got the lesson from the Weekly Warms-Ups on pblproject.com. The students were presented with this task: The Problem You are a toy designer hoping to launch the next great toy that will be popular for years to come. What direction should you take in the design of this toy, and why will children be drawn to it? (You can access more information about the lesson here.) Check out some of their sketches!On January 8th, we began working on marketing their inventions. The students were able to chose from a variety of creation-based apps. Many students chose PuppetPals, while others chose apps like ComicLife and Educreations. Today they continued to work on their projects, and we will finish up this project the next time we meet on January 29th. Here are a few of the commercials that were created with PuppetPals: I am so proud of my students! With very little direction from me, they taught themselves how to use the app and showed just how creative they really are!
