#project based learning schools

[aspamschool]

Project-based learning (PBL) has become increasingly popular as an educational strategy in recent years. With this method, students work on an important project frequently created to solve a particular issue or difficulty in the real world. Learning in the best schools in Delhi NCR is focused on inquiry-based learning, in which students work with their peers, ask questions, and perform research to get a deeper grasp of the material.

due to being sneak attacked by Aquaria hyperfixation i've decided my 3-month creative project will be either a fan-comic or AMV for the game

dimensional analysis is one my most-used skills and I learned it in chemistry class when I was 15

One of the many hills I’ll die on is my defense of the Girl Scouts if you hear the “girl” in Girl Scouts and immediately assume “well, clearly all they’re teaching them is how to bake cookies and manage a household and become a good wife and mother who stays home and cooks and cleans” then that shits on you yeah some troops aren’t going to be as good as others it all depends on the leadership and resources available but that doesn’t negate the fact that at it’s core it is there to teach young girls valuable skills and it can provide unique opportunities and a nice community for people who may need it

a handful of chinese songs that give me big robit energy

translating cpop songs is like my second favourite hobby so it's frankly surprising I haven't made this post sooner

Him - Floruitshow (马 - 福禄寿)

I've talked about this song on here before but this is the 3.7 song for me

the second chorus is definitely MR-SN but i like to think of the first chorus (Let me take a good look at your visage as we count down the time till the curtains’ close. Forgive me for holding back my voice so soon, do you know, in your graceful escape, all I see around me is disaster?) as VR-LA during the flashback sequence

specifically 'all I see around me is disaster' because yeah not wrong

'This time I’m not here to bring you home' just kills me like the please please take care of yourself because I can't be there with you anymore of it all

'Oh spring, oh warm sun, please come sooner, grant him a smooth and safe journey' same point, just the desperate plea for the universe to protect VR-LA because he can't do it himself anymore

How can I make you stay - Floruitshow (我用什么把你留住 - 福禄寿)

(conveniently I have actually done a full translation of this song!)

definitely one of the Maxim songs of all time

"You’ve believed that you can let your life pass in numbness, but [...] why do your tears fall in the moment of letting go?' YEAH because we've seen so many times how Maxim keeps trying to convince himself that he can stop just caring but it never works

'You say don’t fall in love, yet you’re unwilling to let go' same point, this man is in such denial about how he just can't stop caring

specifically the second verse feels a lot like Maxim waiting for VR-LA to return from Tu'narath

'You stay silent, holding onto starlight as you wait through your darkest hour. Your mind is struck, when familiar murmurs pierce your ears once more' aaaAAAAHH

the bridge (?) as a conversation between VR-LA and Maxim, VR-LA inviting Maxim to see the beauty and wonders of the world ('Do you want to see the sea of flowers blooming?', very 4.5 wedding invite honestly) but Maxim's trauma just would not allow him to take that risk ('If none of them come back, then who should I live for?')

fun fact the second version of the bridge in my translation ('You must stay to see the flowers bloom' onwards) is exclusive to that live performance of the song so it's not in the spotify version i linked here. as for which version you think fits Maxim more.. well.

Borrow - Mao Buyi (借 - 毛不易)

finally banging out a translation for this song was kinda the inspiration for me to make this post actually

the tldr of this song is that it's an unnamed/unidentified speaker asking to borrow various small things for the sake of somebody else (like 'an inch of frozen sunlight' to provide warmth in a cold world) so you can probably see where i'm going with this

'A simple ‘we have plenty of time’ etched into the soul to prepare for the chance of forced separation' ouch ow okay

'Those blown apart by these winds will say that they never loved deeply' / 'There is a sincerity that cannot be blown apart by this wind' DX-TR betraying the old crew vs VR-LA fighting through so much just to get them back

'There are tears that cannot be washed away by this rain' this line just haunts me. like in general

'An acre of land for him to call home, an ordinary life for him to live' as MR-SN watching over the old crew like I can't be there for you but I hope you will find peace and a home...

man there’s like.   almost nothing better than closing a dense 400-page textbook for the last time and knowing you’ll never have to open it for a grade again. the relief is staggering

[sbcwolfie]

Decided I’m gonna use my current art wip for the first page of my sketchbook as my watercolor color project in art because what I’m doing for it, meets all the criteria of not higher for the grade I need. We’re graded based off growth, so I can’t half ass projects if I want a good grade😭

Which if I have a bad grade in art my mentor will literally ask me, “Star how are you failing art!? You love art. Bring your grade up.. your other classes can wait”

I love my mentor, she’s the best.

Reimagining Jamaica’s Education: Building the Schools of the Future for STEM

Kiddo was 2 the first time they wrote their name unprompted. I honestly didn't realize they had even been attempting letters. (They did this on my birthday, which is why I remember it very clearly.) So fast forward to 5 years old and at the meet the teachers night for kindergarten. Kiddo has now been reading for quite a while. Their teacher hands us a sheet of sight words and says the kids would be expected to be able to read all of those words by the end of the year. "Okay, but they can already read those." I got the spiel about no, kids just parrot, a 5 year old can't read. I handed the paper to Kiddo and said, "Hey, read these words please." Kiddo rattled them off. "Okay, so now that they've completed their reading for the year, can we talk about a plan to keep them engaged this year?" Again, that woman hated my kid, who was absolutely bored out of their skull and so like gifted kids do, made their own entertainment. We pulled Kiddo out first week of November. I had asked for a meeting with the teacher about some concerns I had, but when I got there the principal was also there, and the teacher said first we're going to talk about Kiddo's behavior issues. She then proceeded to lay out a bunch of classic ADHD symptoms. The principal backed her up. Neither of them cared about anything I was worried about. Kiddo cried tears of joy when we said they didn't need to go back.

Lesson Plan: Manga & Comic Con Project Based Learning

This post is a little different. I’m going to share with you a PBL that I did at my elementary school which led to a school wide convention. You do not necessarily need to have a con as your POL, and you don’t need to have every grade participate as we did. Two students working on their own manga, using instructional drawing texts. This was a collaboration with my school’s speech teacher, Ms.…

Listening to a podcast discussing conspiracy theories and deconstructing the ideas behind them and it's reminded me of the coolest practical lessons in critical thinking I ever got, both in high school, both from the same teacher. One was a month long project on who killed jfk in which we could basically present any theory as long as we cited all our reasons and it got us really excited about research and interpretation, but it was the follow up that I liked best.

Our next project she brought us into class and showed us a documentary claiming the moon landing was faked. Gave us worksheets to do that sided with that stance. And at the end of class a bunch of us were like miss wait this doesn't seem right?? and she said okay, we'll discuss that next week. The next lesson, she showed us a mythbusters episode countering all the claims of the original documentary and gave us worksheets for that, and another bunch of people went wait miss you can't teach us two opposing things, which one is right? What do we put on the exam??

So she split the class in two and told us each to present a case based on each side, and to explain why our source was or wasn't the more reliable of the two. Got us to debate each other directly and use additional sources to back us up and explain why those sources were reliable and should be believed. And because they were randomly assigned there was no guarantee you'd agree with the stance you were presenting, but you had to present it like you did. At the end of the project she asked us all which stance we found more convincing and why, and the majority of us basically said "we think that the moon landing is real because most of the arguments against it seem like someone reacted to a confusing thing without testing it, but when you test it and ask the person running the test to explain the science it makes sense once you have more information. Also, one documentary was made with the help of scientists with qualifications and experience and the other was made by people who don't have that but like to write mystery books, which looks like a less reliable way to get an answer. But we still dont understand why you showed us both if one is wrong."

And she was like excellent. You've done exactly what you should do. At high school level, we as teachers are expected to filter for the reliable sources for you, so you know to repeat that to pass an exam, but if you want to be historians on your own, I won't be your teacher any more once you graduate. Lots of people have opinions and theories and research about times in history, and it's your job to learn how to look at them and decide who you want to trust. This won't be on the exam, but I need you all to know it. You all did a great job following the school's instructions to repeat information you were given, but for some of you, that information wasn't on a reliable foundation. I know you all know how to pass an exam. You're smart and you've been trained to follow these instructions. What you deserve to be taught is how to use all this once you don't have to do exams any more.

And then as a reward for us doing a good job at figuring out the value of checking your sources' sources she let us watch Bush get hit in the face with a shoe before we had to go to maths. Shoutout to you Ms Hannah you were a good'un I hope you're doing well ten years on from that class
