I was in a Problem Based Learning(PBL) session at NISOD 2014 this morning. While discussing PBL, I was looking for some samples or handouts that I could share with Circles and I came upon the Sherlock Journal. I thought it was a clever way of assigning specific tasks in group work. Essentially, there are different roles for students (Discussed Below). To see the full handout, click here. I also found a cool link to a lunar outpost PBL assignment from the PBL Network.
Here are the Different Roles
1. DaVinci — the illustrator draws or finds a picture to represent the learning
2. Webster — the lexicographer defines the key concepts
3. Sherlock — the inquisitor develops a list of questions
4. Katie Couric – the summarizer develops a summary of the teams findings.

What about Sean Hannity as the “devils advocate”!!!

I think all types of learners could use this and it would be fun. Good idea for art concepts.

Neat!!
Here is my version for Spanish classes:
Dalí- the illustrator
Cervantes- the lexicographer
Torquemada- the inquisitor (literally)
Cristobal Colón- the summarizer of team findings. 🙂
