Future planning Evaluate the project implementation with suggested changes future implementations.
We made many improvements the second time around. Next year, we plan to introduce web-projects sooner. We hope to include video presentation of the web pages this year. We are planning a career unit for the end of the year. The other 8th grade house, which was not involved in the Whitewater Project, is planning a project on immigration.
