"After students have gathered enough information to construct their own understanding they are ready to organize their learning in a creative presentation in the CREATE phase. Creating a way to communicate what they have learned through the inquiry helps students to articulate what is important about the subject and requires them to integrate the ideas more firmly into a deep understanding. The Learning Team guides students to go beyond simple fact-finding and reporting to summarize, interpret and extend the meaning of what they have learned, and then CREATE a way to share their learning with others."
