This week students will finalize their focus on the essential question: "How can I design a unique and interesting balloon for our classroom’s Thanksgiving Day Parade?" Students are participating in a Balloons Over Broadway Project Based Learning Task in which they research the Thanksgiving Day Parade through reading different types of texts, create their own plan for a balloon and parade route, collaborate with others by giving and receiving feedback, and write an explanatory piece about their design plan.
