  A: This is not a question but a response to the grade level question. I used it this year with Advanced 5th graders. It worked beautifully. I had to tweak the rubrics a bit to reflect the standards I was teaching but the general outline will work with all of middle school, I believe.
Q: Could it be appropriate for 8th grade?

  A: Thanks for your question!
  
  Yes it would. EPIC Time was written to be adaptable to conform to the needs of teachers and their students.
  
  Here is how you could adapt to fit 8th graders:
  
  -Consider making it a group project so that students share in the work and it would feel more manageable.
  
  -Narrow their focus at the start of the project; instead of saying discover a solution to ANY community problem; provide a list of 5-10 community problems to get them started. A student could always come up with something different but to make the project seem more do-able to an 8th grader, giving them that base would really help.
  
  -Adjust the requirements of the written assignments so that they are more manageable.
  
  Thanks for your question! -Kristin
