Project Rehearsal: Guided Practice with Shared Data
Students rehearse the exact project workbook structure with shared data so every group sees the same quality bar before working independently in Lessons 08-10.
- ▶Rehearse the exact workbook structure and quality standard you will use in the group project
- ▶Trace a recommendation back to supporting evidence using the shared teacher dataset
- ▶Run a peer audit against the Definition of Done and identify one strength and one improvement
- ▶Name the structures, checks, and communication moves your team must carry into the real project
This lesson follows a structured 6-phase learning model designed for authentic project-based learning.
Hook
Explain why the class is pausing for one guided rehearsal before independent project work begins
Introduction
Orient students to the shared workbook, workbook map, deliverable structure, and success criteria
Guided Practice
Model how to inspect the shared artifact and trace the final recommendation back to supporting evidence
Independent Practice
Let students complete or polish the shared artifact and identify what project features they must later recreate independently
Assessment
Check that students understand the project standard and can evaluate it in another student's work
Closing
Lock in the quality standard and preview how students will apply it in their own project scenario
