Reading Reflection # 3

There are many possibilities that go through someones mind when creating a project. From building a boat, house, car, to using skills and ideas to make the project possible. When a teacher creates a project they think of many ways on how to engage the students, common core standards that reflect on what is being taught and most of all what the classroom gets out of creating a project. Some of the big ideas a teacher can think of when creating a project are based on skills. The 21st Century skills that helps students to their expectations  are based from Bloom's Taxonomy of Educational Objectives. SOme of the objectives help guide the student's higher order of thinking skills.

• Analyze : The students will examine, explain, investigate and categorize their project.
• Evaluate : The students will select, decide, justify and verify what is important from their project.
• Create : The students will adapt, imagine, compose and invent ideas of making their project. 

The 21st century literacy skills affect how students learn when creating a project. Teachers use the common core standards to develop a framework to help the students learn from the  project they are creating. This helps the teachers guide the students while they stay on task. Some of the concepts that we as a group can relate to is finding out different types of methods to create a project. When you think of the project you create, you think of the common core standards that you need to use when choosing a topic. Then branch out the project by making investigations on the topic, research, commitment and enthusiasm when presenting the final product.
