How-to guides
Start, document, and close a project
Pick a project starter, fill the four quadrants as the weeks go, tag entries with the project, and close it to a portfolio page.
Goal: one inquiry at a time, documented as it happens. Parents only.
Start#
- Go to Library › Projects.
- Under Project starters, tap Start on one. If a project is active, confirm Archive & start.
The new project appears on Today as the Project card with this week's question.
Document as you go#
Open the project. The Documentation panel has four quadrants:
- What we wondered, What we did, What we found: type a line and tap + add. Remove a line with its ✕.
- What she said: fills itself from quotes tagged with the project. Starred quotes carry a ★.
The Media timeline shows photos tagged with the project. Tap Add photo to capture one straight into it.
Tag older entries#
A parent can link an existing photo or quote to the project from the entry (the project is the context when the capture happens during a project block, so most entries tag themselves).
Extend with the coach#
Tap Extend (Coach) to open the coach with the project pre-filled and ask for a next step grounded in what you have documented.
Close#
Tap Close → portfolio page. The project ends today and becomes a portfolio record with what you documented. It stays readable under Archive. The monthly review's last step offers the same close.
FAQ
Can two projects run at once?
No. Starting a new one archives the current one with its documentation intact.
What is a project starter?
One of twenty Reggio-style inquiries, such as water, shadows, ants, or wheels, each with a provocation, a question, a representation step, and a share step.
