1. What occurs as a result of Project Based Learning approach is: You have a chance to reflect and critique your own work, you can share your insights, you can become a resource to friends and colleagues, and learn to enoy the journey. Many things happen with this approach, and most importantly majority of it will be remembered longer due to the fact that you actually applied what you knew.
2. A great way to bring your project home are: a final project which incorporates all that was learned throughout the semester as well as a reflective piece which explain what was learned. Teaching a lesson can effectively show was learned as well. If students can explain what was taught and use it effectively, then clearly a deeper level of learning has occurred.
3. This chapter relates to our project directly because we are about to wrap this semester and project up. As we do this, we can reflect on what we have learned and been able to use in order to work on the final project. This method may not work for everything, but it's definitely a good method for a lot of different areas.
I like how you pointed out that this method will not work for everything. It's important to walk away knowing that certain teaching methods work best for certain lessons. PBL is just another to add. Also I agree that if students can walk away and explain the lesson and teachings, then it was an overall success.
