I implement project-based learning through planning a literary trip to Boston & surrounding area. Students are given a time frame, money limits, adult-student ratio, etc. I teach American Literature and one year I did this at the beginning, and students could relate back to it when we were going through the Colonial Period and this year I will try it at the end of the year and students can review those literary giants from the Boston area and are reminded of the Colonial Period setting after reading The Crucible. This could easily be transferred to planning a literary-based trip anywhere in the world.
Good luck.
