This bundle contains materials for an entire Capstone for All course that could be executed over the course of a year or semester.  Students in secondary schools are required to determine a self-selected topic, research, create and execute a project, including interviews and surveys, and present their findings through a formal seminar.  Ample opportunities to reflect upon work are provided throughout the process in both discussions with peers and instructors (i.e. "Roundtables") and formal and informal writing.  Students will exit the course having completed a 5 chapter Thesis, a unique project, and experience in formal presentations.  This "Capstone for All" course is accessible for students of all levels and backgrounds.. It is appropriate for high school or college-level instruction. We have included eighteen resources (Google slides custom formatted to 8.5 X 11) that can be projected on a screen and printed for individual student use.
