Our 8th graders are exploring and learning about how to best be prepared for high school

Freshmen in a magnet for highly gifted students (as measured by IQ test scores) taking Honors 9th grade English will undertake a reading of a novel or full-length play of their choice, as well as the reading of a supplementary nonfiction book of their choice, and will create a formal multimedia presentation that they will deliver for a five-person panel of educators and peers that elucidates how the texts are in conversation with each other. They will meet with their teacher for one-on-one conferences to share progress in their reading, and discuss any challenges to decoding, making sense of, enjoying, or rebuffing the text. Students will keep a journal in which they write refections on each text as they make progress.

Students will create a salt map of the land acquisitions of the United states as they were acquired. They must include different colors, and important landmarks. I want students to take on the role of a cartographer and create these maps for other classes to learn the acquisitions.

I am a high school advanced manufacturing instructor. I teach based off of the MSSC CPT 4.0 Quality practice modules. Using the following modules: 13-Quality Inspections and Audits 14-Introduction to Quality Tools 16-Basic Statistical Concepts 17-Introduction to Control Chart 15-Preventative and Corrective Action I want to create a PBL for my students to complete. They will have 7 hours to complete the project. I have attached the rubrics for the MSSC modules and the competencies that can be used. We have been given a problem to solve from a local restaurant, creating a screw on top for 1 gallon plastic mason type jars where the contents can be poured out. Students can create blueprints and 3d print the prototype on a printer. Can you come up with a PBL from this information and apply the modules included and competencies for it.
