Instructional Ideas

  • Have learners bring their mission project guidelines home to their parents to be signed so they can review the type of work that must be performed at-home
  • Design a rubric that more clearly details what is expected from the oral presentation and mission model

Pros

  • Also includes sample grading rubric and planning timeline
  • Explains process for students to provide primary/secondary sources, construction plan, note packet, report drafts, oral presentation, and mission model

Cons

  • Document is a PDF and cannot be edited; however, you can adapt the expectations and planning timeline to your own assignment requirements
