Student Voice & Choice in 21st Century Thematic Learning

Dynamic Design uses a Student-Led process for 21st Century Thematic Unit Planning.  This allows students to have voice and choice in their learning, as well as getting them more involved and invested to take ownership of their learning.  The outcome of this process is a thematic unit plan for each of our three major trimester units in science and social studies.  This week, students developed Essential Questions for deeper understanding and complex thinking and design the culminating events for each theme.  This year's three themes are:

Out of this World (Earth, Space, Technology, and Engineering)
What's the Matter? (Physical Science)
We The People (Government, Citizenship & Economics)
