Personal Origin Story Research Brief and Draft Script
Each student creates a research brief that synthesizes interview notes, mentor text observations, and post-graduation insights, then writes an individual draft script for a spoken or written origin story. The script must include a beginning, turning point, and future direction grounded in firsthand evidence.
Next Chapter Night Story Showcase and Shared Timeline
Student teams co-create a shared post-graduation timeline and a polished story showcase plan that frames individual origin stories around common themes, resources, and next-step possibilities. The team product is presented to peers, families, and community guests as a collaborative narrative exhibit with audience Q&A.
