Students will engage in dialogues with community partners, including law enforcement and tribal nations, to gain insights into their perspectives and experiences, facilitating empathy and understanding as a foundation for their text-based projects.

Students will collaboratively define the project's vision and impact by selecting a community problem to address, identifying key texts for citation, and establishing goals that connect their analysis and interpretations to the real-world context and potential solutions.

Students will collaborate with peers and community partners, including law enforcement and tribal nations, to brainstorm innovative solutions to real-world community issues, using cited text evidence to support their ideas and align them with the project's purpose and goals.

Students will collaboratively draft project outlines and sketch educational comic storyboards that use evidence from cultural and historical texts to creatively depict community narratives for engagement with law enforcement and tribal nation representatives at the Community Innovation Fair.

Students will test their educational comics by sharing them with peers and community partners for feedback on impact and clarity, ensuring the use of text evidence enhances their storytelling ability and addresses community narratives effectively.

Students will engage in structured feedback sessions using critique protocols to evaluate each other's educational comics, drawing upon text evidence from cultural and historical narratives, and collaboratively refining their projects in preparation for the Community Innovation Fair.

Students will engage in reflective discussions to evaluate the impact of citing text evidence within their educational comics, focusing on the decisions made and experiences gained throughout the project to understand how their insights will inform future learning and community actions.
