2. Use the standards & essential questions for inspiration

• What strategies can citizens use most effectively to influence public policy? (HS Civics Standard 4)
• What types of questions do historians ask about the past? (3rd grade History, Concept 1)
Use knowledge taxonomy verb list (synthesis & evaluation) for inspiration.
4. Frame the essential question to inspire curiosity
• Why do things become obsolete?• How can I have influence?• Why is it important to remember the past?
5. Allow students room for exploration
• Choice in topic• Choice in process• Choice in final product
6. Real-Life Element: Authentic Learning
• Students in a real-life role• Create a real-life product• Share with real-life audience
