Learn how to develop and sustain multimodal, project-based learning (PBL) instruction in secondary English Language Arts classrooms. National standards encourage authentic forms of reading, writing, and communication that can support college and career readiness, and this book highlights PBL as a powerful way to harness students' interests and engage them in academically rigorous learning. The authors provide specific, research-informed curricular approaches and instructional guidance for classroom teachers, as well as an overview of the dimensions of PBL that are often overlooked in the broad expectations of inquiry-based teaching. Instead of "quick fix" lessons, Compose Our World explores how core dimensions of equitable teaching-such as social and emotional support, universal design for learning, and cultivating classroom community-function as the bedrock for student success in PBL contexts and beyond.Book Features:
