projects

that I have developed,

written, collected,

adapted, and used

in my classrooms.

I believe in teaching through projects

students

project work

projects usually target various age

levels

adapted

to the needs of specific

teachers, age

levels,

language levels,

and likes.

find as many possible answers to a particular

problem,

generating new and original solutions.
