Please make a copy of the “Project Overview Document” and follow the steps below it.

project. (Example)

Initial steps of planning a project:


1. Choose a standard that you would like to create a project OR have the students solve a
real-world problem.
2. Brainstorm how this standard applies to the "real-world"
3. Brainstorm community connections or current events to that standard
a. What projects could students make to provide relevancy for that standard?
4. Use the backward design model on the "Project Overview" document and begin to fill in the
timeline.
a. Start with the benchmarks of the project (What will they need to do in order to get to
the final product?)
b. What workshops might they need to learn the foundation of the standard?
i. How might they learn this using a workshop format?
