Students will enter the project through a source-rich launch that sparks questions about communist revolutions in China, North Korea, and Cuba, then sort early observations into causes, historical change, and present-day effects while preparing for focused investigation in the next phase.

Students will refine a focused investigation question about their assigned communist regime, draft a hypothesis about political, economic, and social causes, and build a peer-reviewed research plan that names source types, credibility checks, and a documentation method for the next phase of evidence collection.

Students will analyze their evidence from earlier research, test the strength of their interpretations through structured peer critique, and turn revised conclusions into a ready-to-present showcase section with visuals, claims, limitations, and speaking roles.

Students will present their final World Affairs Showcase booths, teach classmates through multimedia and live explanation, respond to audience questions with evidence, and complete a brief oral reflection on how their understanding of communist revolution, historical change, and present-day conditions developed.
