My Take

I would adjust the numbers for the budget part to real life situations and add the meals $, transportation in more detail and extra item lines on the budget for souvenirs and stops. The students really felt this could be a doable project for them in real life....

How I Use It

I used this product with all my students and 2 teacher collaborated with me. I had to add some worksheets to help my disadvantaged students understand the tasks. They learned new and valuable information, they were engaged and they enjoyed the activity.

Defined STEM: Great, organized addition to the classroom. Makes implementing projects easy.

I plan to do it again next year. I can't give a much better recommendation than that! As a teaching tool, I appreciate knowing what the reading level of the articles are so I can get things to my students who struggle, but they can still contribute. One thing I added was a jigsaw activity. I assigned each student in a group to read one of the articles provided. They then met with students from other groups who read the same article. After discussing the article the group came up with a list of important ideas from the reading. They took this back to their home group and shared what they learned from reading the article.

Great interactive website to engage students with problem solving real life situations.

I really like how I can add and take things away from presentations. This way I can make sure to meet the needs of my students.
