PBL Methodology Phases & Activities

Phase	Time Estimate	Activities	Description & Adaptation for Inclusion
1. Present	15 minutes	- Show a colorful storybook with characters representing alphabet letters.<br> - Ask: "Have you seen these letters before? What do you think they are?"	- Use visuals, story, and gestures.<br> - Allow children to express prior knowledge in their preferred way (drawing, speaking).
2. Collect	20 minutes	- Group discussion: "What do we know about the alphabet?"<br> - Children share words or objects starting with different letters.<br> - Brainstorming session.	- Use inclusive strategies: pictures, objects, and assistive communication if needed.<br> - Encourage participation from all children, including those with language delays.
3. Formulate	10 minutes	- Define the problem: "How can we learn all the alphabet letters?"<br> - Create a simple problem statement: "Let's find a fun way to learn the alphabet."	- Use visual aids and simplified language.<br> - Involve children in rephrasing the problem to ensure understanding.
4. Organize	20 minutes	- Divide class into small diverse teams (mix abilities).<br> - Assign tasks: creating alphabet cards, singing alphabet song, drawing letters.<br> - Plan strategies: games, songs, hands-on activities.	- Ensure inclusive team composition.<br> - Provide materials adapted for different learning needs (large print, tactile letters).
5. Build	30 minutes	- Children execute tasks:<br> - Make letter cards with drawings.<br> - Practice pronunciation and recognition.<br> - Participate in alphabet matching games.<br> - Create a classroom "Abecedeario" poster with all letters.	- Use multisensory activities: tactile letters, singing, movement.<br> - Support children with additional help or peer support.<br> - Allow children to work at their own pace.
6. Verify & Analyze	15 minutes	- Play a game: "Letter Treasure Hunt" around the room.<br> - Children identify and say letters learned.<br> - Teacher observes and notes progress.	- Use inclusive assessment methods: observation, verbal responses, drawing.<br> - Offer positive feedback to motivate all learners.
7. Share	10 minutes	- Children present their alphabet cards or sing the alphabet song.<br> - Group discussion: "What did we learn today?"<br> - Celebrate achievements with stickers or applause.	- Encourage all children to participate in sharing.<br> - Highlight individual efforts to build confidence.
