The biggest problem I find with this approach is the research materials. I teach in residential facility for sex offenders. The facility is small and has very few books. Because of their history, the boys are not allow to go to the library and are not allowed to use the internet. The few projects we have done, the boys really enjoyed the process, but I have had to do all the research. They tell me what to look for and I do it at home. They read the material I found and tell me if that is what they wanted or if I should try something else. It is a very slow proceedure, but the results are worth the effort. Especially when the boys can tell me all about the projects we did two years ago. That beats any classroom retention!
