Project Work
You have the remainder of the class to work with your partner on your projects.

To make your project stand out, consider the following:

Originality: The project …

• is new, unique, surprising; shows a personal touch
• may successfully break rules and conventions, or use common materials or ideas in new, clever and surprising ways

Value: The project …

• is seen as useful and valuable; it solves the defined problem or meets the identified need
• is practical, feasible 

Style: The project …

• is well-crafted, striking, designed with a distinct style but still appropriate for the purpose
• combines different elements into a coherent whole

As you continue to develop your ideas for your project, answer these questions (be specific):

• What steps have we completed or made progress on?
• What other steps need to be made?
• What are the target dates we have for those steps?

Write a report together addressing these questions. Share it with each other and then share it with me. The file name should be AE18 + both of your last names in alphabetical order + Project 1 Journal. 

Copy and paste your previous reports into this journal with the dates.

Due today 23:59.
