Establishing anchors is an important part in the students journey through the project. First teachers should have found out about their students prior understanding and knowledge using activities such as K-W-L. Anchors help to see where students started and how far they are going to meet their learning goals. This is a time to implement any rubrics that you have created to generate meaningful feedback for students. Even in traditional projects teachers want a reliable way to assess how well students have grasped the key content. Also you can always simply ask students what they have learned. sometimes just having students talk to you can be the best way to see what they have learned. Teachers can also have students create something new. This gives teachers the opportunity to look for a transfer of knowledge. Can the students take what they have learned and apply it in a new context? The concepts in this chapter will be used in our project because we will have to assess the children on what they have learned during the entire course of the project.
