Is the lesson I am teaching for application? Acquiring knowledge to complete work to apply to something Is the lesson real world? Application is the same as it would be for adults in a job Standards for performance are the same for adult roles Is there only one “right way” or can the end product be unique or unpredictable? Are there multiple variables that will affect the product? Is the outcome unpredictable or potentially different every time? Are there unknown factors such as (environment, people, time)?
