1.    As a result of using the Project-based learning approach, Students develop a deeper understanding of the lesson. Because of this deeper understanding, students are likely to remember and put use to the knowledge gained within the lesson. Using the PBL approach, students also learn to better express themselves, and collaborate with others.

2.    There are many to bring your project home. One way is to create a major collaborative project with/for the students which will allow them to use the skills gained during the lessons. Another is to have a parents night, where the students will be able to demonstrate to the parents what they have learned during the lesson.

3.    These concepts are relevant  to my topic because they are both great to incorporate into my lessons. After researching healthy foods, from home and around the world, the students could have a parents night to present their findings. As a teacher I could also create a major collaborative project about healthy food and nutrition for the students.
