The 14-Day Experiment |
| Subject: |

Grade: |

Description: |
The 14-Day Experiment asks students to adopt or change a habit in their daily lives for 14 days and challenges them to experience something new or unfamiliar.
The purpose of this experiment is two-fold:

• Second, as this will be a project of the each student’s own choosing, my hope is that it will provide a rich, relevant, and authentic experience to inspire deeper reading, writing, and critical thinking.
