ASK
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?
A sense of purpose and challenge is created
by the Driving Question.
DQ “starter” How can we (do) ______ so that (why) ______?
Develop Knows/Need to Knows about the problem.

5. ASK - Teacher Determine Driving Question
Start with the end in mind, and decide how flexible the course for getting there can be based on circumstances.
The question should be provocative, open-ended, complex, and linked to the core of what you want students to learn. It could be abstract (When is war justified?); concrete (Is our water safe to drink?); or focused on solving a real world problem that students can connect with (How can we improve this website so that more young people will use it?).
It should capture the heart of the project in clear, compelling language, which gives students a sense of purpose and challenge
Consider community needs
Can include lesson on content
Encompass every aspect of learning that will occur and establish the need to know
Create Entry Event (a video, a lively discussion, a guest speaker, a field trip, activity, learning event, or a piece of mock correspondence that sets up a scenario and initiates questioning) to engage interest and introduce the DQ
Introduce Key Vocabulary
What are the desired Need to Knows? Do they align with those of the students?

Create a classroom culture that values questioning, hypothesizing, and openness to new ideas and perspectives.
Provide opportunities for students to assess themselves.
Features real-world context, tasks and tools, quality standards, or impact or speaks to students’ personal concerns, interests, and issues in their lives.
Student Voice and Choice: This learning element is key. In terms of making a project feel meaningful to students, the more voice and choice, the better. However, teachers should design projects with the extent of student choice that fits their own style and students. On the limited-choice end of the scale, learners can select what topic to study within a general driving question or choose how to design, create, and present products. As a middle ground, teachers might provide a limited menu of options for creative products to prevent students from becoming overwhelmed by choices. On the "the more, the better" end of the scale, students can decide everything.
