Unlike traditional assessments with the emphasis on recall, this culminating project challenges students to exercise higher-level thinking skills—
comprehension, application, analysis, evaluation, and most important, synthesis—to complete complex problem-solving tasks. The project focuses on the key
questions, difficult issues, essential understandings, and important concepts of the unit.
