In Weeks 6, 9, 12, and 15 (Also known as Week C: Teacher as
Designer), you will design your own individual PBL lesson. For
this reason, you should be thinking about what makes an excellent
PBL lesson. Read the PBL Design Rubric.
Based on your readings and experience, suggest modifications that
could be made to the PBL Design Rubric criteria. These
modifications should address objectives, scenario, process, and

revise the PBL Design Rubric.

Volcano Classroom,

modifications to the PBL Design Rubric criteria.
