Submission Required
The project opens with a fast-paced Passion Showcase where students share a 1-minute preview of something they might teach. As listeners, classmates write one genuine question they would want answered. Students then use a provided interview protocol to conduct two 5-minute interviews with different peers, asking: What would make this topic interesting to you? What confuses you about it? How do you prefer to learn new information (demo, story, visuals, practice)? Students capture direct quotes in a two-column notes sheet (What I Heard / What It Might Mean).
