The questions under Driving Questions seem to represent specific components to the larger learning. For example, by answer these questions, what larger understanding should students get about accounting? Or, how are these skills significant to the purpose or principles of keeping a ledger?
Answering these questions could bring forth the essential understandings for the project. This may result in a larger Driving Question.

Interesting DQs. Here's what responded to me as potential lead questions for your students. I'm curious what you think.
How does modern teen literature reflect the times we live-in?
Is the theme of violence prevalent in teen literature from the 70's reflective of modern literature?
Why is violence an acceptable daily activity as part of our culture?

Is there more violence today than during the 70's? Could you create a short story reflecting the current time we live in to the same theme? What is the solution to teen violence? What can we do to prevent it? If we did prevent it what would the literature be like?

Why did the Minnisota bridge fail? Was it because of the design? What have we learned about bridge design in the last 50 years? How safe are Michigan bridges/overpasses? How do you check the stability of a bridge once it is built?

How do you persuade someone to do something that they don’t want to do?
How have influential people from the past gotten their way?
Are there specific techniques that help persuade people?
How do infomercials get people to buy things they neither want nor need?
