Home Design - Back to School - Project Based Learning (ELA, Math, Geography)

This project based learning experience is an engaging and hands-on way for students to learn about personal narratives, persuasive writing, geometry, design and geography! This resource would work great as back to school project to get students familiar with routines, practice collaborating and learning multiple subjects in a fun way!

Students will think like architects, designers, realtors, geographers and writers throughout this six week PBL unit. I suggest using this for 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th or 8th graders.

Included:

- Detailed 6 week planning guide for project

- Works for any location/state

- Creative project launch (QFT)

- All worksheets/graphic organizers included and editable

- Optional add on lessons

- Student examples/photos from previous years suggestions on how to enhance the experience (field study, experts, etc.)

Content Covered:

- Personal narratives (small moment stories)

- Persuasive writing (graphic organizer and final draft example included)

- Area

- Perimeter

- Scale

- Critical thinking

- Design

- Research and data collection

This can be modified for any grade level 4-8. I personally have done this project with 4th graders in California so you will see my examples contain data from CA. This can be executed in any state/location of your choosing.
