"Project-based learning involves work for an individual or groups. There should be a rubric attached to make sure that students can be proficient in what is asked of them."
Shane's Feedback
One of the best ways to get students interested in the information is giving them a variety of options to choose from. Then, a student can still be proficient in what you ask, but they will have the opportunity to be creative.
