Task
A task narrows and focuses project work by providing a specific item to complete. This task is often created by the teacher, however, some advanced students may help to design the task in a project based learning experience.
Directions
A task shows students where they need to go, but directions give students more guidance on how to get there. They help students to know what to do to stay on task and be able to make progress on whatever project they are working on.
Student Choices
Task and directions need to not be super detailed to the point where there is no student choice in the matter. In some more advanced projects, however, students can even choose which projects they'd like to complete.
Student Inquiry
Student Inquiry means that students themselves are finding and evaluating information to help them complete a project
Collaboration and Teamwork
In project based learning, students work together to complete a task. The students may have seperate roles, but they all recieve one group grade.
Teacher Coaching and Feedback
