- Publication to present the idea of projects in your classroom
- Assessments: assessment presentation to gauge student needs, student sample assessment, other assessments
- Works Cited document
- Student sample (presentation, publication, web-based resource)
- Document(s) to foster self-direction and metacognition, such as project plans, checklists, conference questions, and reflective prompts
- Document(s) to scaffold students' content learning, such as guidelines, forms, and templates
- Implementation Plan
- Teacher presentation, newsletter, brochure, or web-based resource to support the unit
