2. A need to know

Creating a “hook” for the introduction of a project is important to get your students interested and engaged. Its purpose is to generate the curiosity of the classroom. It could be in the form of a video, a guest speaker, or a lively discussion. The driving questions should be abstract enough to get your students wanting more.

3. Driving questions

This is the question that your students will be working towards answering with in-depth inquiry. It should have a sense of challenge and purpose. Every activity will work towards the answers to this question. The question should be complex enough that it cannot be answered with one Google search.

st

century skills

Use of technology, collaboration, creativity, communication, and critical thinking are all 21 st century skills that authentic tasks should require.

6. In depth inquiry and innovation

Students will be spending the most of their time working on this stage. This is where they will be finding answers to the many questions that will evolve as they conduct their research. They will be using websites, books, articles, and videos to dive deep into the subject they’re exploring. All this gathered information will be used to create their product.

8. Public presentation

Time to show off all the hard work that students put into their projects in a public setting. It doesn’t have to be just to classmates, it can be to a larger audience including parents, experts, or a larger community. Public also doesn’t have to be in front of a live audience, it could be online as well.
