PBL Debate Kickoff

Students explore a real controversy about whether project-based learning (PBL) makes them more successful. Patti Hurley visits to share real-life examples and models a short three-position discussion: PBL is the strongest approach; Direct instruction is essential; A guided blend works best. In a whole-class session with quick partner work, students listen, note one reason to defend a position, and identify a question they want to investigate during the project.
