Explore Project Ideas- Grades 7-9
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.
Middle School
March Through Nashville- Students work as historians to create a walking tour of civil rights landmarks in their community.
Fan Fiction- Middle school writers create their own online collection of fan fiction.
Kinetic Conundrum- Interdisciplinary project challenges students to produce prototypes of public art installations.

- Which video did you watch?
- What new knowledge would my students acquire as a result of this project?
- How does this understanding connect to the “big ideas” (and high-priority standards) of my content area?
- Which roles could my students take as problem solvers, and how do these roles align with professions and careers?
- How might my students choose to demonstrate or share what they know?
