Usually the thematic project will follow these steps:
• Students undertake a broad overview of the topic.
• The students are observed and their special interests in the topic are recorded.
• Students participate in self directed activities and group discussions
• The teachers along with the students begin to plan activities that will narrow the focus of the theme topic.
• Students are encouraged to ask questions and make suggestions at any time.
• When students encounter problems they are encouraged to find answers themselves , they must apply critical thinking skills, problem solving abilities and information gathering techniques to do this.
• Students will eventually arrive at a very narrow focus of the theme based on their interests.
• The theme topic usually ends in the completion of a large project.
