Then they let the students brainstorm for each subject area and figure out what kinds of projects could accomplish the different clusters. THEN they try and make a big project out of it!! It's super cool. Mind you, it only includes the 4 main subject areas of Math, Science, English, and Social. <br />We got the opportunity to make up our own project and it involved a comic book about an immigrant who came to Canada with his family and had start a business. So builds an organic super market with it's own greenhouse. I would have LOVED to make something like in grade 9 or 10. So cool :) And the students in the program could not stress enough how much they adored coming to school every day. It was so inpirational!Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08668641711687294904noreply@blogger.com
