Advanced Preparation

Watch this video...

Decide whether you want this activity to be group or individual work sessions or a hybrid of the two.
If you are planning to create groups, be prepared to assign students into groups and provide them a means to connect (whether via Google Classroom Video, etc.). We recommend group sizes of 3-5 students.
Decide upon a mode for students to share their work.
Select a reflection prompt from the list below for students to email you at the end of this activity:
- How has your project template improved since last time?
- Which sections of your project template do you need the most work on?
- What is the biggest barrier in completing your project template?
