Landing Projects

History Timeline

r

Just like Elle created a timeline of history, Vinayak or other students can create a running timeline on which to place what they've studied, such as past cultures, forms of government, technological innovations, etc.This project would most often be completed as preparation for the culminating "Design the Future" project.

Design the Future

r

Students can design a comprehensive "possible future" by focusing on just one facet, such as "Economy", "Government", or "Food" -- or they can design a comprehensive "possible future" by addressing many or all facets. A student's "possible future" project could take any form: a mind map, Milanote page, Google Slides presentation, narrative story, dialogue that's acted out, video, etc.
