As a final product, I have had my students develop tools (charts, quizzes, mind maps, etc.) My students choose one invasive species in the community to focus on. They might look at policies, removal events, education programs, and more. Students share their exhibits at a community exhibition event.

Heritage About a decade ago, one of my students shared with me that she loved cooking, specifically her grandmother's recipes. She organized and hosted an event where students in the school studied their heritage and culture and shared their final products at a community exhibition night.

Students might collaborate with a local conservationist to design and develop a tool or method to effectively remove the species from the habitat while preserving and conserving the natural ecosystem. This is PBL, and the invasive species removal event is the authentic presentation. Not ideal and it's getting old.

Plan a Dinner Party Every year around this time my school hosts an event called “Feast” Each advisory organizes a dinner party within a set budget, we cook the recipes together and have a “feast” as a school community the day before winter break. The virtual events can even be really cool.
