Students will be able to synthesize multiple sources to define an evidence-based problem or message about resilience for a specific audience.
Students will be able to write a clear narrative script or storyboard that communicates a resilience story with sequence, voice, and purposeful detail.

Students will be able to create and revise an age-appropriate children's book that explains an aspect of resilience for younger readers.
Products
Resilience Research Portfolio and Prototype Storyboard
Each student will produce a research portfolio grounded in firsthand evidence from interviews, museum visits, and text excerpts, plus an individual prototype storyboard or script concept for either the documentary or children's book. This artifact shows personal mastery of the research, interpretation, and design choices that will feed the team product.
Community Resilience Documentary and Children's Book Showcase
Teams will create a shared problem statement and a higher-fidelity documentary or children's book package that tells a resilience story for an authentic audience. The final presentation will explain how individual research informed the team’s choices and how feedback shaped revisions.
