Starting PBL: Agriculture
You have submitted a list of peers that you would like to work with. I have placed you into groups of three, one of the people in your groups is someone from your list, unless you did not submit your list!
Once in your groups, you will need to establish a working group agreement. If you do not comply with what you have agreed to, you may be fired from your team as everyone else is counting on you. Here are some essential forms and information to help us all understand how PBL works in an effective way (resources from Thom Markham): 
Contracts in Project Based Learning
Please make sure to establish the following:
- What topic are you all interested in and then create an inquiry question;
- what are you going to do if you are away sick? How are you going to contribute that day?
- where is your team going to store resources?
- how are you going to decide on an end project as a team?
- what key roles are people going to play?
Collaborative PBL Work Space Test
I am trying to find a secure place for you to work within your groups and we are going to try out my.sd62.bc.ca
Once you have your project groups established please go to the above link and post your inquiry questions within your selected category (on left side of page). The aim for this space is for your group to have a space to work collaboratively even if you are away / at home for the day.
