From Newspapers to Circuses--The Benefits of Production-Driven Learning.
Sprague, Marsha M.
Educational Leadership, v50 n7 p68-70 Apr 1993
Class-produced newspapers are clear examples of product-driven learning, which requires a visible, though not always tangible, product; an audience other than the students themselves; whole-class involvement; and completion during normal school hours. Further examples are provided, including a first-grade circus, a fourth-grade rain forest tour, and U.S. history puppet show. (MLH)
