Set the project essentials

Use the Project tab to make the project legible to students, teachers, and the future library before you fill in every stage.

Every authoring path opens the same five-tab draft. Use Project for the anchors and audience-facing language, then move into Milestones, Rubric, Reading View, and Publish without creating separate copies. Select the image to enlarge it.

Write a specific title and a driving question that can sustain investigation rather than point to one predetermined answer. The student brief should name the learner’s role, the work they will do, and the consequential choices they will make.

Choose the primary subject first, then add secondary subjects only when they genuinely shape the work. Set the grade band and suggested duration so Craft Pattern, standards, and library context stay coherent.

Duration is an estimate for the complete project. Individual milestone durations should add up to a credible sequence, but they remain planning guidance rather than an automatic calendar.

For students to make describes the public or consequential product. Who it’s for identifies the real audience that will use, review, or respond to it. A concrete product-audience pair makes both milestone decisions and rubric evidence easier to judge.

The library summary is teacher-facing discovery copy. Explain what students investigate, how they make sense of evidence, and what they ultimately produce. Private notes remain visible only to you and co-teachers and are never included in published or shared views.

Use the milestone and rubric overviews at the bottom of Project to check whether the detailed structure still supports the promise made at the top.
