Project Conference Agenda

This week the 2nd Marking Period ends and part of your assessment includes a brief project conference. Today you will have time to prepare for your meeting by gathering together all of your evidence that you have produced so far. Examples of evidence include photographs, videos, surveys, research, and/or art work. You have to show me progress that indicates that you will be able to finish your project for your portfolio.

When we conference on Wednesday and Thursday, I will be looking to evaluate your progress according to the following criteria.

• Have you developed a possible solution with the project?
