You are committed to developing Phenomenon-Based Learning projects in your class, but still have some reservations. No fear! You can begin with an Enquiry Question, get used to the idea of different paradigms, let your students experience a bit more independence, and little by little you’ll become comfortable with your students becoming a bit more self-directed, responsible – and consequently excited about their learning. This volume helps you to ease into longer and more robust projects by first giving you direction on creating the all-important key questions that begin an adventure into more organic learning.
