Authentic Audience

Is it still PBL without an authentic audience?

Yes, because planning is a part of the job and knowing what you are going to be doing in the future is what teachers do. That being said, being flexible and knowing that things might have to change because of the way the audience reacts is also a part of the job. That has nothing to do with this being PBL because that can happen in any type of classroom with any kind of lesson. Having an authentic audience definitely makes things easier because you know in what ways you are changing things around to suit new needs.

A reason this is difficult without an authentic audience is because one is not aware of the level of the students, how many students have different learning disabilities or needs, but lessons should be built to be adapted to any situation anyway.
