Project Brief Guidelines

Project Briefs are due on Wednesday March 9th.  Please use the following outline as a guide when drafting your project brief (beginning during class on March 2nd). The brief will serve as a proposal and working outline for your project, which means that it may need to be adapted as you go along, especially with input from your community contact and me.  Note: As your work on your project briefs it might be helpful to check out the projects that students did last year.
