Description
This bundle bridges student choice, authentic learning, and academic writing through a carefully structured, APA-formatted, five-chapter research paper exercising students’ CCLS skills for reading, writing, and language. It is appropriate for high school or college-level instruction. We have included eighteen resources (Google slides custom formatted to 8.5 X 11) that can be projected on a screen and printed for individual student use.
You’ll find:
- 26 Google slides providing a “walk-through” of the entire bundle
- The ability to print slides for teacher and student use
- a linear, quarter-by-quarter flowchart (for optional use)
- chapter templates
- round-robin peer-editing checklists
- standards-based rubrics for each distinct chapter
- an editing code
- a color-coded template for the complete Capstone Thesis

Here are some highlights of the ways to use this bundle:

- A time-saving editing code for giving meaningful feedback
Worth Noting
Our resources can be condensed to a stand-alone paper assignment, albeit hefty, or spread throughout a full-year course. The chapters break down a traditional Capstone Experience by guiding students to document their idea development, research and recursive thinking, project planning, execution, analysis, and final reflections.
The Sonderful Scholar recognizes that creating authentic learning opportunities requires supreme flexibility. We hope that by offering time-saving, scaffolded resources in a logical sequence, they will be an easy foundation from which you can differentiate for the unique needs of your students.
