Some things that can happen at the end of a project that went well in a classroom is that students may be more professionally aware.  They may have a better understanding of what certain jobs do and now will  have more experience with 21^st century skills like team work, deadlines, and self-reflection.  The parent- teacher relationships may be closer from the involvement the parents had in the project.  Hopefully, the students have a new-found respect for learning due to all of the hard work they did and the results that project may have had on the community. 

One of the best ways to bring home a project is to do a reflection that includes what students could have done better/ changed about the project and what direction would they take to move the project forward.  It is also important to have a common theme and or link the previous project with the next one because students can see how important this big idea is and also will start to make connections between the different topics.

This project is important because it talks about after the project and how to properly wrap up the project so students can get the full effects of their accomplishments.  Also, I this it is very important that a teacher considers the next project and how to relate the previous one so students can further their interest in the subject.
