Dear Parent or Guardian:

I am writing to tell you about an exciting project we are about to do in our class.

As you might know, in our school we use the teaching method of Project Based Learning, or PBL, to help
students learn better. A project motivates students to gain knowledge, and they remember it longer.
Projects give students the chance to apply the skills they learn in school to personally relevant and
real-world situations. Your child also learns skills in PBL such as how to think critically, solve problems,
work in teams, and make presentations. These skills will help students succeed in the future, both in
school and in today’s work world. More importantly, we are using PBL as an assessment tool for this
semester as a final exam.

Our project is called Different Types of Measurement and it will last about a month from December 12th
to January 20th.Students will learn about “Why are the plants important for our daily life? “The project’s
driving question, which focuses our work, is “How do our living things survive on the earth?” Students will
be involved in researching on the Internet, interviewing community members, preparing a presentation,
creating a video, using technology, etc. Your child will work in a team, guided by me. We will be working
with school, organization, and experts.

At the end of the project students will share their work publicly with audience. This event will take
place in conference hall. We hope you will be able to attend.

Students will be assessed individually in the project, based on the knowledge they gain and the skills
they demonstrate. I have attached the rubrics we will use to guide the creation of [product] and assess
students’ work. You may find these helpful in understanding what we are asking students to do and
supporting your child during the project. As parents or guardians, you can discuss the project at home,
encouraging your child to think hard and ask questions about the topic. You can also support the project
by helping in the classroom, providing expertise and resources, etc.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about the project!

I have read and understood expectations of EDUSN Project Based Learning.
