Authentic PBLs
Authentic PBLs are naturally derived by students based on real-world needs or issues/concerns. Examples:

PBL Examples and Resources
1) Explore the PBLs from your assigned list individually.
2) Meet in your Jigsaw group to investigate and evaluate the PBL examples.
3) Come to consensus on the top 3 and RECORD.
4) Report back to your team.
Synthesize Your Ideas
As A Team
Consider and discuss the authentic examples above and the simulated examples explored then:
- generate 5 authentic PBLs that could be reasonably accomplished in a class.
-generate 5 simulated PBLs that could best be implemented in a class.
Individually
Based on your team brainstorming:
- choose 3 authentic PBLs that would work well in your specific classes.
- choose 3 simulated PBLs that you would be able to implement in your specific classes.
