Quick write a “How to” process.  Describe and illustrate the Big Goals and the little goals to meet the Big Goal. (Demonstrate and document with words, and photographs/video).  Groups may use clip art from the Internet if appropriate.

Written material:  Use storyboard or Venn diagrams to describe the process. Identify Start.  Identify End.
                                     List components needed to start and finish process.  List between 8 and 12 steps.
                                    The final step can be the description of the finished product or comment of final

                                    “We sat down and ate the cake”.

Examples:  How to bake a cake; how to write a research paper; how to check out a college or university; how to make a date; etc.

TIPS:  Better to have too many photos than not enough.  Build this project in Power Point; Movie Maker on laptops; or Animoto.com ( 30-second chapters, up to six.) Make sure you have names of all project participants on work.
