2	Let’s see….
3	What Makes it PBL? Centrality PBL projects are central, not peripheral to the curriculum
4	What Makes it PBL? Driving Question PBL projects are focused on questions or problems that "drive" students to encounter (and struggle with) the central concepts and principles of a discipline
5	What Makes it PBL? Constructive Investigations The central activities of the project must involve the construction of knowledge on the part of students
6	What Makes it PBL? Autonomy Projects are student-driven to some significant degree
7	What Makes it PBL? Realism Projects are realistic or authentic, not school-like
