Suggested revision areas identified below the graph were for the class in general. Individual needs for revision may vary.

Everyone also had the opportunity to work on their responses to the work we did around the Lisbon 2013 bond order ballot questions.

In the second half of class, project teams met to review their previous meeting minutes and discuss recent progress on their projects. In addition to this, teams were beginning work in the research process by brainstorming questions that would need to be answered in order to prove that their was a need for their project team's work. The question to which groups were responding was:

What questions would someone need answered in order to understand why your project team’s work is good?

Some model questions for one of the projects we did not end up pursuing (creating a local animal shelter) were:

What services do animal shelters provide.

Why are homeless pets a problem?

To what degree do animal shelters help problems associated with homeless pets.

What are the benefits to having pets (when people get them from shelters)?
