Slides include: a chosen cover image with rationale, a character mood-board with three image choices, a key-passage slide with embedded student-recorded audio of them reading aloud, a setting slide with research images, a thematic slide with a one-line thesis, and a recommendation slide. They present to the class for three minutes each.

Interactive poetry analysis with audio reading
Each student builds a single page presenting their analysis of one poem. The page has the full poem at the top, an embedded audio recording of the student reading the poem aloud, hover-text annotations on six key lines (with the annotation appearing when the reader hovers over the line), and a 200-word thematic essay below. They publish the page for the class to read.

Multimedia thesis essay submitted as an interactive web page
Each student picks a contemporary global issue (gender pay gap, plastic pollution, AI in education). They build a single web page that argues a thesis. The page must include an embedded video clip with their commentary, hyperlinks to two primary sources, and an interactive thesis map (a clickable diagram showing claim, evidence, counterclaim, response). They peer-review three classmates' pages using a structured rubric.

Children build a digital story-map of their local area
Each child builds a digital story-map of their local area that includes at least four locations (their house, school, a chosen park, a chosen shop or community space). Each location has a child-recorded audio commentary explaining what happens there and one photo. Visitors navigate the map and listen to children's voices about their place.

Interactive web page comparing two contrasting climates
Each student builds an interactive web page comparing two contrasting climate zones (e.g. tropical rainforest vs hot desert, polar vs temperate). The page must include embedded interactive charts (rainfall, temperature, biodiversity), tap-to-reveal text explaining each chart, and a recommendation panel for which climate they would prefer to live in and why.

AI-translation critique published as toggleable web page
Each student translates a literary passage from the target language with AI assistance, then produces a critical commentary comparing the AI's translation choices to their own. They publish a single interactive web page where the reader can toggle between three views: the original, the AI translation, and the student's translation, with hover annotations explaining each disputed choice.

Live joint research on a shared event
A class partners with a class in a country directly involved in a chosen historical event (e.g. partition of India 1947 with an Indian school; the Gold Rush 1849 with a US school). Together they build a shared web page combining sources, photos and oral history from both countries. Each side contributes content; the other side responds and integrates.

Co-authored cultural photo essay with partner school
A class partners with a class in a target-language country. Together they build a single shared photo essay on cultural similarities and differences (food, school day, family rhythm, weekend life). Each student contributes one photo plus a 50-word target-language caption; their partner-school peer responds with a comparison. The essay publishes as a co-authored web page across both classes.

Live joint research with religious community
Students collaboratively research a religious community by conducting live video interviews with practitioners (e.g. interview a rabbi, an imam, a priest, a Buddhist monk). Each student records and anonymises one interview clip, posts a transcript with analysis to a shared class web page, and engages with classmates' submissions. The class collectively builds a multi-tradition study.
