Students will draft outlines and create preliminary sketches for their choice-board projects, focusing on delivering engaging and purposeful experiences that connect the Crusades to contemporary conflicts.

Students will further refine drafts into final products ready for showcase presentations. 

Students will participate in structured peer review sessions where they provide and receive feedback on their choice board projects, refining their work for the upcoming Student Showcase by addressing specific design and staging challenges to improve clarity and engagement.

Students will engage in a reflective session to consider the impact of their created projects, analyzing how decisions made in their scripts, manuscripts, or performances resonate with contemporary issues and how these insights inform their understanding and future creative endeavors.
