Students will immerse themselves in listening and inquiry sessions with community partners, including a local Native American tribe and entrepreneurs, to deeply understand diverse survival experiences and the essence of resilience and adaptability.

Students will articulate the core objectives of their podcast series and survival kits by analyzing key themes of resilience and adaptability from selected texts and community partner insights, crafting a clear vision statement that guides their subsequent project efforts.

Students will collaboratively brainstorm with peers and community partners to generate innovative ideas for podcast topics and survival kit components, aligning these with the themes of resilience and adaptability identified during empathy work.

Students will draft detailed outlines and storyboards for their podcasts to ensure purposeful and engaging narratives, while planning each segment that integrates survival stories, personal reflections, and community insights.

Students will test their podcast segments with peer and community member audiences for feedback, evaluating the impact of their narratives on engagement and clarity to inform necessary revisions for deeper learning.

Students will engage in structured peer review sessions and community partner consultations to critique their podcast drafts and survival kit designs, offering and receiving feedback to refine their narratives and improve their projects' clarity and impact.

Students will engage in reflective journaling and group discussions to notice patterns in their learning experiences, predict future impacts on their survival projects, and refine their podcast narratives and survival kit explanations for the final 'Survival Stories Symposium'.
