How this Plan uses your files
The uploaded file is a two-page unit overview rather than a complete lesson sequence. It includes one concrete student-created output—the naʻau compass—but provides no procedure, investigation protocol, assessment, worksheet, video, equipment list, or URL. General statements about learning kūkuluokalani, winds, natural elements, kilo, cultural knowledge, and kūpuna wisdom are background descriptions rather than executable activities, so they are not represented as separate source tasks. No concrete source tasks were omitted.

Students will launch the wayfinding project through a supervised traditional waʻa experience, kilo observations, a kūpuna interview, and construction of a natural-material kūkuluokalani.
Day 1
Define
Define
Students will transform kūpuna interview evidence into an actionable, user-centered wayfinding challenge that guides later waʻa design and voyage planning.
Day 2
Ideate
Ideate
Students will generate varied waʻa and voyage-plan concepts, evaluate them against kūpuna interview evidence and wayfinding science, and revise a promising direction before entering the drafting phase.
Days 3 - 4
Draft
Draft
Students will evaluate responsibly obtained materials, practice safe model-construction techniques, and build an initial model waʻa based on prior kūpuna interview evidence and selected design concepts.
Days 5 - 6
Test
Test
Students will learn a safe, controlled-water testing protocol, collect comparable waʻa performance data, exchange evidence-based peer feedback, and revise their models and voyage plans in response to test results and kūpuna needs.
Days 7 - 8
Critique
Critique
Students will use structured, evidence-based critique to improve their model waʻa, voyage plan, scientific explanations, and plans for safely and respectfully leading kūpuna.
Days 9 - 10
Notice & Reflect
Notice & Reflect
Students will create and refine a naʻau compass, use evidence from their project journey to reflect on their growth, and demonstrate respectful, responsible leadership during a supervised exhibition voyage with kūpuna.
