Now that you know the basics of the Project Approach, it’s time to start to think about your own project. Attached is the Topic Selection Form from Creative Curriculum.  Please think about 7 topics and complete a form for each of the topics.  Please think about each of the criteria before answering yes or no.  A good topic must have each of the boxes checked yes.  If there is one no, it probably won’t be a good topic.  After you have completed the forms, write a summary of how the topics are appropriate or not, and then you must pick one topic and share information about why you chose that topic.  Then please brainstorm what you already know about that topic, organize that list into categories, and design 4 interesting questions that will be researched as part of this project.  These questions should be open-ended.  Place those questions into a planning web and upload the following:

All 7 topic selection sheets

Reflection on the topic chosen
