Please help each other out with ideas and ways to extend or to make the project better. Write these ideas down on the back of your project proposal so I can see the thinking that occurred during this group meeting.  No one’s project is perfect yet so help each other out! Sometimes we get the best ideas from the people around us!  Lab 500: Conference with me before you turn your proposal in.  There is a chance I am going to make you redo your proposal if you did not follow the directions.  Start your rough draft and brainstorming some ideas for your project while we have the time here at school.  You may listen to music while you work!
