Teachers can use the 10 Questions in a variety of ways from elementary to high school. For starter activities, educators can use the Ten Questions to analyze a historical event such as [a lunch counter sit-in ](/blog/facing-history-ypp-action-frame-focusing-eyes-prize-ain%E2%80%99t-scared-your-jails)in the civil rights movement or [a contemporary social movement](/Reflecting%20on%20DREAMers%20in%20Times%20of%20Uncertainty). 10 Questions become discussion prompts themselves. Educators can use them for a [book discussion in libraries](/book-discussion) or [debate on controversial issues.](/disussion-and-debate) Educators can use the 10Questions for a [conversation starter](/conversation-starter-civics). Or, some of you might think that learning all ten questions might be a little overwhelming. Then, why don't you use the "[Pick Two"](/example-4-3-pick-two) method?

In an **elementary** school, teachers can use the 10 Questions to create changemaker bios, as seen in “[Unsung Women Change Agents](/unsung-women-change-agents).”

In a **middle** school, teachers can use the 10 Questions for [youth participatory action research](/example-5-youth-participatory-action-research) or [a reading project](/exampe-2-getting-question-one). The 10 Questions Framework also structures the DKP Grade 8 year-long civics curriculum (visit the [Democratic Knowledge Project ](https://democraticknowledge.fas.harvard.edu/)website for more detail)

In a **high** school, teachers can use the 10 Questions in several stand-lone cases, such as a [conversation starter](/conversation-starter-civics), a [history project](/unsung-women-change-agents), or [political discussion](/examples). In collaboration with [Facing History and Ourselves](https://www.facinghistory.org/), the Democratic Knowledge Project developed a [learning module](/facing-history-and-ourselves-10-questions-young-changemakers-%E2%80%93%E2%80%93-student-activism) about civic agency focusing on two student activism cases. Five lessons are structured along the past, present, and future arc. Explore the menu on the right and drop-down menus on the top for more detail.
