Students will research and learn about famous entrepreneurs. They will focus on the characteristics of entrepreneurs and reflect on characteristics within themselves. Students will create a business plan for their own business. They will present it to Entrepreneurs in the community.

Students learn about diversity and the importance of accepting others differences in school, workplace, and the community. For two weeks they will record in their journals different things they hear or see throughout their day that may be categorized as discrimination, harassment, or judgmental. They will design a product to share with an audience about embracing diversity.

Students will identify Title 1 Schools in their areas, potentially the elementary school the majority of the students attended. They
will then identify an after school program they would have enjoyed participating in with high schoolers, (i.e. basketball, coding,
art, Minecraft, animation). Students would need to group together common ideas and then propose the various ideas to the rest
of the class to then vote on. The
purpose of this project would be to collectively create an idea that would in turn give back to their communities, give them a
chance to own their roles in their communities, be a mentor to a group of students that are much younger than they are, and learn the basic idea for proposing a business plan for a new idea/venture.

Students will be exposed to the importance of making healthy eating choices and habits in their lives and the role that it plays in their overall personal health.
There are many obstacles and challenges that can be encountered when incorporating healthy eating habits into one�s daily life and routine. These obstacles include such things as budgetary challenges, availability of healthy choices, education and comfort with incorporating them into one�s own life, and peer pressures to name a few.
The purpose of this project is to raise awareness and comfort levels for students with healthy eating and how it can make an impact in their own life and those around them.

Students will learn about food systems and how they operate globally and locally. They will become familiar with the complexity
of systems and players that bring raw materials to our plates and the inequalities that these systems create or expose. They will
choose an issue and investigate it, becoming experts and developing a local service project that will seek to ameliorate a food-
related challenge in the community, while also learning about different careers in agriculture, food services, and food policy.

The purpose of this project is to expose students to the need for public speaking skills as well as to enable them to be more comfortable in front of an audience. Glossophobia is the fear of public speaking, and it is detrimental to a person�s ability to do anything from school projects, to job interviews, to being an actual professional presenter. When we focus on preparing students for the �real world�, we need to be sure they are comfortable in their endeavors. This project will help students to present themselves as their best.

Students will learn what their rights are as a citizen, mostly focusing on what their rights are when interacting with the
police. Students might find certain viewpoints/guest speakers as triggers. The purpose of this project is to inform

It can be applied to all students and any barriers they may have to include, but not limited to, mental health issues and other family related traumas.

The purpose of this PBL is to get to know our students and understand what they are dealing with and have dealt with in life before JAG. This will be a great way for everyone to learn about student�s successes and their barriers. Students will be able to share things that are positive about themselves in a creative way. They will design a personalized license plate made from poster board cut out to the actually size of a real license plate. Students will only get one plate, which will require them to take ownership of their plate and not lose it. The requirements for the plate are as follows: the plate state will be the state the students were born in, positive quote that represents the student�s family; one goal that the student has; two personal strengths; one dream career/ or dream; 2 hobbies or interests and one barrier they have overcome or currently working on. This plate represents how great these students are. The students will present these plates to our community members and get feedback.

Students will understand what life was like for soldiers of various United States wars before, during, and after their time of service. Student led interviews will specifically focus on how soldiers' employment plans, hopes, and dreams were impacted by their service in war. Students will also examine the impact of major United States wars as it relates to employment in the United States.

Students will become more self-aware and understand how their strengths and weaknesses are used in their daily lives, in relationship with others, and how their skills and attributes could benefit them in the military. Students will be exposed to how those strengths and weakness could make them successful in different career paths in the military.

Adult students rarely have the opportunity to tell their own stories. Many of them simply intend to go to school, achieve their High School Equivalency Diploma and simply move on. This activity gives them the opportunity to overcome their greatest obstacle: themselves. Through the lost art of introspection, the specialist allows students to go on a self-guided tour of discovery and rediscovery of themselves by showing where they have been as a catalyst to where they are going.

The students will be planning and implementing a Veterans Day Breakfast & Ceremony to be held on a school day prior to the Veterans Day Observance.

Students will research a career of interest using online and �live� resources (e.g. job shadow, informational interview) and reflect on it to determine if that career is a fit for them based on their interests, skills/abilities, aptitudes, and personality. Through this project, students will complete the Holland Code Interest Inventory, Myers-Briggs, utilize online resources (e.g O-Net, Occupational Outlook Handbook, Career One Stop), and complete a job shadow and/or multiple informational interviews.Students will also explore one career cluster using the career map packets developed by JMG.
