Beyond the Poster Board: Project-Based Learning in the English Language Arts Classroom

The poster board is one of the staples of many classrooms that have students create projects. However, there is so much more to project-based learning than a simple piece of poster board. Project-based learning comes in many different shapes and sizes that can be used to truly allow students an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of curriculum in a way that a standardized test never could. This book is filled with example lessons given to students and exemplars that show what is possible if students are given a voice and a choice. If you are an English Language Arts teacher and are looking to explore different types of assessment, take some time and investigate Beyond the Poster Board.
