# Week 18 — Capstone Execution
**Unit 4: Lead in Community • Domain IV**
**Essential Question:** Can we actually deliver?
**Key Performance:** Mid-Capstone Review with partner + revised plan.

---

## Day 1 — Stand-Up & Plan the Week
**Objective:** SWBAT identify what's on track, what's blocked, and what shifts this week.
**Do-Now (5):** Did / Doing / Blocked written. • **Circle (5):** Single word. • **Mini-Lesson (10):** Stand-up etiquette + when to escalate to teacher vs solve in team. • **Practice (25):** Teams stand-up, then rebuild week plan against Gantt. • **Close (5):** Submit revised week plan.

## Day 2 — Project Autopsy (Pre-Mortem Re-do)
**Objective:** SWBAT identify what is *currently* threatening their project (not just what *could*).
**Do-Now (5):** "What's quietly going wrong that no one's saying out loud?" • **Circle (5):** Roses/thorns. • **Mini-Lesson (10):** "Project autopsy while still alive" — name the truth before it kills you. • **Practice (25):** Teams run honest autopsy; rebuild risk mitigation. Teacher rotates. • **Close (5):** "The thing we have to fix this week is ___."

## Day 3 — Work Block
**Objective:** SWBAT produce concrete deliverables.
**Do-Now (5):** Personal task list for the period. • **Circle (5):** Quick. • **Practice (40):** Heads-down work block; teacher conferences with each team for 5 min. • **Close (5):** What did you ship today?

## Day 4 — Mid-Capstone Review with Partner
**Objective:** SWBAT present mid-progress to community partner and receive feedback.
**Do-Now (5):** Final prep. • **Circle (5):** Brave check-in. • **Practice (40):** Teams meet with partner (in person or video) for 10 min each; structured feedback form. • **Close (5):** Log feedback.

## Day 5 — Friday Circle: Pivot or Persist

## Assessment
4-pt rubric: **Honest autopsy • Partner feedback received & integrated • Updated plan • Visible deliverable progress.**
## Differentiation
Stretch — Liaisons may run partner meeting solo with teacher silent observer. Foundational — sentence frames for the partner meeting.
## Sub Plan
Day 3 work block is sub-stable.
## Stretch & Swap
Bring in a project manager parent/partner Day 2 to coach the autopsy.
## Hard Truth
Some teams will be in trouble this week. *Do not rescue.* Coach. Use the autopsy. Failure is a teacher.
