Shelly: I like your PBL unit ideas. I think it is great that you will work with an English teacher. By working with another teacher, it will help with time restrictions. Your students could do research during their English class as well. And the English teacher could show students how to find credible sources and then correctly cite thier sources. I also think that with a big project like this, it would be a good idea to set mini deadlines for the students. You could have students turn in all their research by a certain time (or proposals) so that you know they are not waiting until the last minute and you can monitor their work and make sure they are on the right path. -Shannon
