Overview
About This Lesson
This lesson is intended as a culminating activity to inspire students to apply the 10 Questions Framework to issues they are most passionate about. The final assessment for the unit provides links to other resources from Harvard’s Democratic Knowledge Project website that will help students transfer the knowledge gained from their unit of study into tangible opportunities to take action in their community. While this lesson provides a framework for introducing final projects, it does not offer explicit guidance on how to design a project. For this reason, before implementing this lesson, teachers need to be clear about what types of action-oriented projects they want to adopt for this unit (using the links we provide or their own project ideas). They will also need to consider how they will tailor the 10 Questions Framework to the interests and needs of their students. See the Notes to Teacher section for more information.
