Connect · Week 3 — Building the Capstone

Critical ThinkingDraftWhole groupWeek 3

Objectives

Wildlings design and build their Year-End Capstone, a project that draws together threads from across the year. The question is 'How do I show, in one piece of work, who I've become this year?'

Materials

capstone materials (varies by project), feedback forms, presentation planning sheet

Activities

Wildlings finalize a capstone concept that integrates at least two circles' worth of learning. Dedicated work time allows building, writing, or preparing the capstone piece with coach support. Peer feedback sessions help refine the capstone before final presentation. Logistics for the end-of-year showcase are planned with the group. Wildlings rehearse how they'll explain their capstone to an audience.

Coach notes

Let the capstone format be flexible — object, portfolio, performance, or project — as long as it connects real threads.
