Students will be able to synthesize veterans’ stories, photos, and quotes into common themes of service, sacrifice, courage, and citizenship to define a tribute message for a public audience.
Students will be able to collaborate to define a How Might We statement for a veteran tribute that distinguishes the community need from a possible solution using research evidence.
Students will be able to prototype and refine a digital tribute format such as a video, poem, or slideshow that responds to veteran audience needs and feedback.
Students will be able to communicate and reflect on how their research, teamwork, and presentation choices honor veterans and demonstrate civic empathy.

Veteran Interview and Source Evidence Brief
Each student creates a research artifact that includes notes from at least one real veteran or community-member interaction, evidence from multiple credible sources, and a concise summary of the veteran’s service and community impact. The brief becomes the individual proof of content mastery and the evidence base for the team’s problem definition and tribute design.
Salute Showcase Digital Tribute with Evidence-Based Problem Statement
Teams create a shared How Might We statement and a polished digital tribute, such as a video, poem performance, or slideshow, that uses the team’s research to honor veterans and communicate a clear civic message to a public audience. The final presentation includes brief explanation of how individual research shaped the problem statement, prototype choices, and revisions.
