Mandrill monkey
The videos below show groups of learners. Each group had a reader, a writer, an illustrator, and a reporter. They work cooperatively together.

Creating a plan
Learners testing their thinking...
I did not video all of the discussion. After the video stops, the monkey begins to fall apart. Learners begin asking questions about durability, where we would put it, 3D-ness, etc. THIS is what is exciting about project learning!!!
We also discussed putting our monkey displayed outside the classroom door. But our learners were concerned about Big Patriots coming by and bothering it. It led to a healthy discussion about our own behavior and how to problem-solve that with Big Patriots.

Readinga-z
There has been some questions about whether or not the book recorded. Look at the pictures below...The middle picture is a computer view. The last picture is an Ipad view. They are a little different. Also, make sure your learner continues to turn pages until they get to the page that says, "YOU DID IT." If not, the book doesn't not send. If you have questions, please let me know. READ ON!!!
