Module 2 - Aligning Projects with Assessment Standards
Activity 2.1
Step 5: Choosing a Project Topic
From your assessment standards and learning activities, what could be the topic for your project? Consider choosing a project that could potentially use any of the thinking tools, so that you can try out each of those ideas in the following modules—although not all tools may end up in your final project plan. However, you will still have the opportunity to change your mind and select a different project in the upcoming modules as you develop your ideas.
The table below provides a few examples to help get you started in the brainstorming.
| Subject | Content topic that could benefit from thinking tools |
| The Arts | Inspiration, influence, or impact of artists or musicians |
| Economics | Investments |
| Geology | Significant elements in a geological event |
| Health | Health threats, diseases |
| Industrial Arts | Design elements |
| Language Arts | Plot and character development |
| Math | Market trends, statistics |
| Physical Education | Greatest athletes, impacts on physical fitness |
| Science | Environmental impact, ecology |
| Social Studies | Factors in war, important events in history |
