Email it to nasprogram@evergreen.edu - What do you want to learn? (content and goal) - How are you going to learn it? (use multiple intelligences, Choice Theory, Pedagogy of the Oppressed) - What do you plan to do with what you've learned? (the move from theory to practice, i.e., praxis) - What difference will it make? (build in reflection and assessment, from which springs the next round of the four questions) 3.
