3) Learn
4) Present!
Each station will include these parts:
-A banner with the name
-A general explanation of the (main) step
-A step by step guide
-An example to explain
-An interactive part - the Project Machine
Explore:
-This is the Exploring stage - here you can see the multiple ways you can start a project!
-Are you confused about the project process - Well here's the first part -
-Think of ideas and start researching - Explore for up to five hours and meet with the advisors for possible standards.
-Think of an Idea and then start it.
INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS/SEPARATE COMPONENTS:
-Wheel of ideas (subjects, content areas, obscure phrases)
-Question generator (helps make deep, engaging questions)
-Whiteboard brainstorm
-List of staff and what standards they can give
Plan/Design:
-Now that you have a basic idea of what you want to do, it's time to make a map of your project. Planning your project out and designing it will be wrapped with approving it with your parents and your advisors.
-The second stage of the 17 steps is design. It talks about the design of your project on project foundry.
-Now that you've finished with your brainstorm, here's how you design it on the computer to make it official!
-Now that you know what you want to do, now you have to start actually doing it, preparing for the actual work.
-The second stage is about beginning to layout how the project is going to turn out.
-Mapping out: What are you going to do? What are you going to make? When are you going to do it all? How will you get a grade?
*reminder: find good resources*
*reminder: standard discussion*
INTERACTIVE ELEMENTS/SEPARATE COMPONENTS:
Deliverable - example book
Rubric - Explained examples - station to work on your own.
Timeline - Blank Calendar with velcro parts (some blank, some that all projects include)
Learn:
-Stage three involves beginning your project and finishing your project.
-Time to adventure out on your project. Make sure you find trustful and good resources along the way. After you finish the adventure, you get to log what your resources are. As a last minute tip, don't forget to log your hours!!!
-Stage three is when the work really begins. Researching, writing, logging, and editing. Stage three is all about getting material work done.
-Research and work!
-Now it's actually time to get to work. You're going to remember to keep track of your resources and log your hours!

Interactive elements/separate components:
-Resources:
tips to find good resources and ways to test if your resources are credible
-Bibliography examples - with detailed explanations
PRESENT
(presentation, reflection, feedback, using rubrics and your questions)
-Presentation: to present your work with as much detail as possible
-This is the stage where you go public with your findings and get feedback
-It is the final stage in which you plan a meeting time with your advisors and present your project and get the standards and a grade for your work.
-Write a reflection, do the presentation, get your grade and standards and leave.
-You are almost done!
-This is the last part of your project. You must finalize your project and finish up your work with a reflection and other stuff.
-This is the final stage of the project process. You will be needed to show what you've learned. In this stage you will present, reflect upon what you've learned, and finish the project.
-The final part of it all, after getting back from sailing off, you write about the whole thing through the reflection. Once that is written and revised, you show your deliverable(s) and talk about what you did to earn credit and standards. Note: look back at your rubric to see what grade you've earned.
