Students use question stems to prepare for a brief Q&A with a local city government representative, then record notes in a three-column organizer labeled problem, evidence, and people affected. After the interview, students turn and talk to build on a partner's idea, then give a 30-60 second project check-in naming the issue they are leaning toward, one fact from the speaker, and one next question. The teacher closes with a quick project expectation overview and students write one goal for next week.
