Give students a platform to create hands-on Capstone projects. Each resource, appropriate for high school and higher education, works in concert to form the framework for guiding individual students or small groups through the invention, planning, and execution of research-based, meaningful projects. This process, following a unit of research and writing on self-selected topics, typically takes eight to ten weeks. We have included ten resources (Google slides custom formatted to 8.5 X 11) that can be projected on a screen and printed for individual student use. 

You’ll find:

• 26 Google slides providing a “walk-through” of the entire bundle

• The ability to print slides for teacher and student use

  • Linear, quarter-by-quarter flowchart (for optional use)

  • List of project types and examples

  • Overview of possible project artifacts

  • Project proposal template

  • Mentor approval template

  • Template for note-taking in a mentor meeting 

  • Survey lessons

  • Fieldwork log coaching document

  • Fieldwork log template

  • Student-designed project rubric template

Here are some highlights of the ways to use this bundle: 

• Time-saving sample project descriptions to inspire ideas

• Easy templates for notetaking, project proposals, and student-designed rubrics

• Ready-made worksheets for scaffolding activities and formative assessments

Worth Noting

Our resources can be modified for all varieties of project assignments or used in a full-year Capstone course. You’ll find the organization encourages student agency and accountability by engaging students in planning, problem-solving, and professional communication throughout all parts of the kit.

Capstone Collaborators, and our brand The Sonderful Scholar, recognizes that creating authentic learning opportunities requires supreme flexibility. We hope that by offering time-saving, scaffolded resources in a logical sequence, they will be an easy foundation from which you can differentiate for the unique needs of your students.
