What is a PBL?
What are the needs of our community and how can we brainstorm and select a project to accomplish this year that will impact our community? Note that this is just a beginning “driving question.” The ultimate driving question will be the ones your students identify for their individual projects presented.

Project Overview
Project Summary
Have you never done a PBL before and are shaky about how to “teach” it? Need a way for students to generate NEW ideas for service projects that actually engage your students in a unique way to the community? This PBL is for you! Students identify what a PBL is and how it works within the JAG Curriculum. The purpose is to set a goal for service projects at the beginning of the year AND to teach expectations of JAG Career Association membership. This is a great way to create some measurable ACTION items after students identify needs of their community. Here is how we know this works: See the projects at the end of this Project Overview, all done by MVHS JAG, as a result of this PBL “lead in.” Note that this is not a “standalone” PBL. It is successful because it sets the stage to allow YOUR students to drive THEIR future service projects.
