Welcome to the PBL Playbook, brought to you by Magnify Learning – where we put teachers back in their sweet spot. Make sure you follow us on Twitter: @magnifylearning, @askgiebs, @MissB103, #PBLPlaybook.

Josh and Andrea continue the PBL Project Blitz series where once a month, they highlight a PBL project by veterans in the PBL classroom. 

In this episode of the PBL Project Blitz series, our hosts are joined by Kayla Adams (@KaylaJoAdams), a first grade teacher in JCPS (@JCPSKY) in Louisville, KY. Kayla talks to our hosts about a project she completed with her first graders in which her students learned how to become authentic authors. In this project, she pushes her students to create stories that represent them through appearances and experiences to increase representation in children’s books through a diverse group of authors. Listen to this great conversation as Kayla describes the impact this project had on the young authors of her classroom.

Stay tuned for more awesome projects as the PBL Project Blitz series continues every month!
