While every project conception is different, the project nearly always starts with one of the following:

• A Product – What do you want the students to create? Example: “A two minute documentary film”

• An Essential Question – What question guides the student experience or what question are the students trying to answer with their work? Example: “Is democracy the most effective means of government?”

• Goals, skills & content – What do you want your students to learn, do, or accomplish during this project? Example: “I want students to interact meaningfully with adult professionals, understand how the democratic process works, and learn how to record and edit videos.”

• Audience & Exhibition – When, where, how, and to whom will students present their completed works? Example: “Students will present their videos to the local city council just before the primary election season.”
