Students will enter the project as youth advocates, use Inkwire to notice tensions around the Pledge of Allegiance, and draft the first problem-framing artifacts that identify users, key questions, and the civic challenge.

Students will analyze rights, school expectations, and peer perspectives about the Pledge of Allegiance, then turn that evidence into a source evaluation, a root cause claim, and one early solution direction for a respectful classroom routine.

Students will turn their research about rights, school expectations, and peer perspectives into an early design package for a respectful Pledge of Allegiance routine by studying exemplars, making a testable prediction, planning a prototype, and documenting first-round revision moves.

Students will pilot their classroom Pledge routine, collect evidence about how it affects clarity, comfort, and disruption, and record results they can use to improve the proposal for their teacher.

Students will communicate what they learned from designing and testing a respectful Pledge of Allegiance routine, then reflect on how their civic reasoning, collaboration, and advocacy developed across the project.
