Annotated Article Analysis and Audience-Shift Writing Set
Each student submits a color-coded annotation of one mentor article, a reconstructed subheading map, and a tri-audience writing set on one CTE ethical dilemma. The set must include a formal memo, a student editorial, and a 30-second podcast script, with brief revision notes explaining audience-driven choices.
CTE Communication Studio Case Brief and Tested Audience Prototype
Teams combine individual research and prototype ideas into one shared problem statement, then develop a higher-fidelity communication solution and present it to an authentic audience. The final package includes the team’s evidence-based case brief, a collaboratively refined prototype or service concept, and a short pitch explaining how user needs shaped design decisions.
