Attention Everyone: Project Land will close next Wednesday, and I can't wait.  It's time for all of the eleven and twelve year-olds to sit quietly while I drop some knowledge.  No more choice and student-centered messiness.  Or even better yet, maybe the students can silently fill in some vocabulary worksheets.  Doesn't that sound like more fun than making a huge mess with props and scraps and asking the same questions over and over again even though there's a rubric for the project right in front of your face?!
