ELA Component
Day 1: Walter and I walked into geometry during study hall to choose our PBL project. The one about Spider webs stood out to us the most because it was an architectural and we love to draw.
Day 2: We have now started brainstorming ideas on how to conduct the project efficiently and quickly as well making sure we share the work evenly. We went back to our teacher and we spoke to her about our plans to make sure she was okay with what we were about to do.
Day 3: We began working on our project by conducting background research and sketching drawing of what we were planning to do on a larger and geometric scale. The tasks kept coming at us and we were confused at what we should do because this was our first year working on PBL and we were scared that it would affect our grades on a great scale.
Day 4: We now have began researching about different types of spider webs and what geometric shapes they are made of. We are trying to find new ideas to add to our PBL project that we were hoping, in a well timed manner, to complete.
Day 5: Today we have now began putting measurements on our scale drawing of the web. The measurements are very small now but we are planning to multiply them by 4 to make them bigger on a big board.
Day 6: We met up and had all of our materials to be able to enlarge the scale drawing. It took us a long time to complete but however the results were worth it because we finished the hardest and most important part of the project.
Day 7: We spoke with our teacher about what we had completed and she told us that we did not have time to take a break and needed to do the technological part of the project such as the videos and the tasks on the web sites.
Day 8: Later that week we met in the computer lab to create our video and to upload pictures of our project. We made a two minute long video that just simply talked about what our project was about. We then uploaded the pictures and our video to we-video and the put it on our PBL webpage.
Day 9: We went back to the computer to make our brochure and our qr code. We had trouble with this at the start but then we managed to finish the two tasks.
I have chosen to do the Geometry Spider Web for my math PBL. I will complete the Journal.
