Description of a method of understanding prior-knowledge of students.
You need to come up with an assessment for the students so you can know if they received the proper information that was being taught. For example, come up with group work. The students will be able to work toward a standard with their group, community, family, and peers to accomplish what they need to accomplish. This will allow them to work toward a standard and be more creative while doing it. Also this will be more challenging for them rather than just doing a standardized test that may go in one ear and out the other.

  Discussion on the importance of establishing anchors for a project.
By establishing anchors you gain a sense of where students are starting and how far they are going as they work to meet learning goals. In a project based classroom, you expand the opportunities to differentiate instruction and help all learners be successful.

Description of several ways to assess what students learned during the project.
The students can be asked by the teacher what they learned, this will give the teacher an idea of how productive their lesson was, and how interested and willing students were when doing the projects. You can also have the students create something new and create a final project with the old information that was turned into something new.
 
Discussion on how concepts in this chapter relate to your topic/project.
This relates to our topic becasue we are taking our information and topic and constantly turning it into something new. We are making lesson plans, movies, and other things with our one little topic. This is showing that we know what we are talking about and we know what we are doing. I also think this relates because this class is strictly project based.
