11th grade: M. Shakae has written a series of driving questions already and circulated them amongst the 11th grade. They are good driving questions.

10th grade: Only Angola and Kyana were represented. I worked with them to develop driving questions.

K.Hopkins : we decided to redirect the roller coaster project because there is not enough academic support for the unavoidable Physics questions that this project involves. The primary driving question her whole class will be using is this: WHAT ROLE CAN CHEMISTRY PLAY IN PRODUCING AN EFFICIENT, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY ROLLER COASTER.?

The project will focus on fuel sources and the chemistry related problems.

Angola's advisory: he has already broken up his advisory into groups of ONE. ! This was to increase accountability for specific questions. We talked for quite a while and decided in the end to focus research now on PREVIOUS INVENTIONS.... in other words, "how has technology been used to improve communication and equipment efficiency in the sport of football"?

This helped address the issue that the project was too speculative, and students did not have enough background knowledge of technologies and improvements already made to the sport over time.
