How can the creation of a student sample help me clarify my unit expectations and improve instructional design?
Even discussing the student sample has changed the way I have looked at this project. I could already get myself more focused, after talking about what I could create. I think I had some expectations in my head that were not totally realistic for my 2nd grade students. After discussing it, I was able to start thinking in more of a "2nd grade" frame of mind. I believe, after creating the sample, this will become even more clear. It will also help in guiding my instruction. As I create this sample, it will make the steps more clear to me and allow me to guide my students through this process more effectively.
How can I ensure students will achieve the learning objectives when creating their student projects?
I need to ensure that I have assessments aligned to my learning objectives so that I can keep track of what my students are learning. If I am not holding my students accountable in some way, I cannot ensure that they are achieving the objectives. If I set clear objectives and inform them of how they will be assessed, I believe they will achieve these goals.

It is amazing how mcuh better we can plan when we go through the same process that the kids will. It makes our goals and our timeframe more realistic.
