NOTES
1. This is a simple plan; it does not include details of the evaluation because these
are specified in the unit standard itself.
2. In a simple plan, the reasons for student choices need not be expressed. In a
more complex plan, students should be prepared to justify their selections of
material, methods of evaluation, or changes made as the project progresses.
3. The milestones should include indicators of time expected to complete steps of
the project. These milestones should be reviewed, and revised if necessary.
