Directions: This idea generation sheet is your main submission for this final project. It walks you through the process of talking about the research, the problem that you found, and the multimedia solution you’ve arrived at. You will upload this onto a Final Project folder in the GDrive—put it inside a folder with the last names of the people in your group. Once you have a first set of answers, you can send me a link to the Google Document, and we can start talking about it and you can revise until Finals Week.
You can work in pairs or in threes.
