Submission Required
Students revisit interview quotes, observation notes, word collections, and empathy artifacts from earlier phases, then sort them into themes such as belonging, pride, kindness, and teamwork. The teacher models how to turn a need into a simple How Might We statement and a short design brief with audience, purpose, and visual goals. Mixed-age groups create one brief on chart paper using sentence frames, icons, and color marks so younger students can contribute through drawing and speaking.
