Second, launching the project with an entry event and driving question. Third, letting students formulate questions and determine what they need to know. Fourth, forming teams with roles and shared responsibilities. Fifth, providing structure with a rubric, activities, resources, and timeline. Sixth, students start researching, taking field trips, and creating their product. Seventh, frequent checkpoints, reflections, and formative assessments occur before presenting the final product.
