Final Project

Culminating your class in a final project is a great way to provide the entire course with focus and ensure that students leave with a sense of accomplishment. Good final projects answer the following questions:

1. Options: How will you create multiple entry points that invite students to engage through a variety of intelligences?
2. Requirements: How will you express specific, detailed, expectations about what the project will look like and how students will receive feedback? What will the expectations be? What will be optional and what will be required? This Online Rubric Creator can help you set expectations.
   
3. Deadlines and feedback: When will the intermediate deadlines be? What will be required at each stage? How will intermediate deadlines structure opportunities for personal reflection and feedback from other students and the teacher?
4. Course Integration: How will students pull from materials explored earlier in the course and from their own previous work as well as utilize new materials?
   
5. Individual work time: When will students have the opportunity to explore, experiment, play with ideas and practice trial and error?
6. Product: What will students have to show when they are done? How can they share their learning with the rest of the community?
