Driving question: Project work is focused by an opening ended question that students understand and find intriguing, which captures their task or frames their exploration.

Need To Know: Student see the need to gain knowledge, understand concepts, and apply skills in order to answer the driving question and create project products, beginning with an entry event that generates interest and curiosity.

Critique and Revision- The project includes processes for students to give and receive feedback on the quality of their work, leading them to make revisions or conduct further inquiry.
