I recently read a wonderful book written by educator Ron Berger.\u00a0 The book titled An Ethic of Excellence: Building a Culture of Craftsmanship with Students <\/a>was published in 2003, and it provides beautifully descriptive examples of what project-based learning can look like in elementary school classrooms.\u00a0 Ron also writes extensively about the process of critique used at his school which involves a cycle of drafting work and gathering feedback from peers until the work is considered exemplary or in Ron’s words “beautiful.”\u00a0 I was moved by the commitment to high quality learning experiences and student work described in the book.\u00a0 Should you want to know more about what project-based learning can look like in an elementary school classroom, I highly recommend this book!<\/p>\n

I have also found a few video clips of Ron describing his process of critique and approach to project work that you might find interesting.<\/p>\n
