You already have a showable piece, a research log, and a reference list from earlier project work. Today you package those parts so the whole Student Project is ready to hand in: the piece itself, the log, the references, and any consent notes, named clearly and in the structure your class agreed. By the end, a partner who has never seen your folder should be able to open it and find everything without asking you.
A package is the form your project will be submitted in, organised so a teacher can open it cold and see what you made, how you got there, and that you credited and consented properly.
Confirm the structure on the board, then start your folder. A clear package usually includes:
Naming matters. A file called finalfinal2 helps nobody. Prefer plain names such as piece, research-log, references, consent, plus your name or class code the way your teacher asked. Before you submit, every file must open on a school device.
Build your submission package from what you already have. Work in the place your class saves project work.
If a required part is still missing, put in what you have, add a short note file called gap-list naming what is missing, and still rename and open-check everything that is there. Do not invent files.
One folder, the required parts inside it (or a clear gap-list), clear names, and every file that is there opens.
Swap devices or share your folder link with a partner. Do not explain your package first.
One partner opens for about two minutes. Use this list only as a silent scan (do not read it out as a quiz):
Say only: one strength (exact file or name) and one gap (exact file or name). Swap. Use the remaining minutes only on the flagged fix, then save the class way.
Pull together what the cold-open showed. A strong package is not only complete; it is navigable. If a partner could not find the log, open a clip, or tell which file was final, the work was still unfinished even if the piece itself was good.
That is the point of packaging before you present: the evidence of how you worked sits beside the piece, named and openable, so your process is visible as well as your product. Any fix you did not finish today is still useful evidence of what the package needs next.
