To learn more about the critical components of PBL, watch this helpful 6-min video:
Assignment:
Watch one of the videos below that shows an example of problem-based learning (the first is with elementary students and the second video is older students). Or, you may search online for a different example of problem-based learning that aligns with your specific interests. Either is fine.
Use the information from your textbook and your selected PBL example (either video 1 below, video 2 below, or an example you find online) to write a 2-paragraph response that clearly explains WHY this is a problem-based learning experience for gifted and talented students. Make sure you connect to critical components of PBL (e.g., ill-defined problem) and provide evidence from the lesson plan/video (e.g., The unit is centered around the question “how can we sustainably feed 9 billion humans? which can be answered in many different ways…).
If you find your own example of PBL online, please include a link to the lesson plan/unit or video.
