Depth of Knowledge • During the implementation of this PBL we will be using technology to address all levels of Depth of Knowledge. Our project's driving question is: Why do people share their experiences through stories, art, songs or poems? This question requires that students know the meaning of genre and they would also have to recall information about characteristics of literature--level 1 DOK. • Students must work collaboratively and approach the problem in which they will be engaged ---level 2 DOK. • After the students have been exposed to different genres of literature and various examples of narrative/memoirs, the question could be answered in many different of ways and requires more demanding cognitive reasoning—level 3 DOK. • In the last step students are expected to make connections relatedtothe driving question and select onetechnology tool to apply their connections and learning – level 4 DOK
