The Project
|
This efgProject™ is designed
to bring "Life 2 Learning." It
features fourteen lessons that are integrated
with the skills necessary for life and
work in the 21st Century.
The subjects and content areas represent
the way the world works. Each of
the Portfolio tasks aligns with the content
standards that are required in each state. When
you complete these integrated lessons
you will understand how the skills that
you are using in school apply to real
life and will be used for the rest of
your life. |

Comments

You may approach this learning in many
different ways.
- You may want to answer all of the
questions and complete all of the
efgPortfolio tasks in each lesson.
- You may want to concentrate on
one subject in each of the lessons.
- You may want to select the lesson
based upon your classroom content
or an article about the lesson in
the newspaper.
- You may find information on the
Internet that provides the necessary
research for a Lesson.
- Some lessons may take a longer
amount of time based upon the amount
of content or your interest in the
topic.
- EFG recommends that you complete
all fourteen of the lessons and create
a digital portfolio of your work
that can be shared with others.
- efgProjects are adaptable for all
grades K-8 and skill levels. Once
you are familiar with the lesson
template you will see how easy it
is to modify or create your own lessons.
