Check that your group mates answer the following questions:
  • Your name.
  • What you'll be doing for your 20% Time Project.
  • Why you chose this project.
  • What materials and resources you will need.
  • What obstacles you anticipate and how you plan to navigate those obstacles.
  • Why this project is worthy of a significant investment of your time.

Then, give some positive and constructive feedback!


Remember these three:

I like, I wish, I wonder


Here are some other sentence starters for giving feedback.
