Explore Project Ideas- Grades 10-12
As you explore the following videos of projects, picture your own students learning through a similar experience. Think about questions they would likely ask, opportunities for them to make choices about their learning, and support they might need from you.
Take a close look at two or more project examples and respond to the questions, for two videos, following the videos.

- How might my students choose to demonstrate or share what they know?
- Which projects would help my students become more empowered, self-directed learners
