What are the Tasks?
Each Project is further broken down into “Tasks.” Each Task is an essential learning experience for the students. Tasks range in length from one to ten class sessions. They typically begin with a “focus question” to orient the students to what they will be doing, and a set of “objectives” to guide the teacher in ensuring that the students are moving toward specific understandings and skills. Breaking large projects into small tasks provides an effective strategy in cases where students may at first be overwhelmed by a major project.
