Step 2
The Academy School is designed on a premise of "Real World Learning." When it comes to project-based curriculum units, these are our tenets for curriculum design:
 * 1) Unit should be built around an Engaging Task (compelling scenario, role for the student, task(s) for the student to complete)
 * 2) More learning by doing than learning by reading and listening
 * 3) Project should intrinsically answer the question, "why would students want to learn this?"
 * 4) Unit will be contextualized locally and connect globally
 * 5) We will integrate technology for projects beyond online learning and communications
 * 6) The learning is scaffolded to provide both the “big picture” and to help students build the critical understandings underpinning that big picture.
 * 7) Unit should reflect other evidence of real world learning

How does the unit attempt to meet each tenet? Be specific.
