John Larmer and John R. Mergendoller advocate student-driven projects. To facilitate such projects, the authors propose that every teacher make sure he or she includes the seven essential elements of project-based learning in every long-term assignment. These elements are:
- A need to know
- A driving question
- Student voice and choice
- 21st century skills
- Inquiry and innovation
- Feedback and revision
- A publicly presented project
