Good Human Project 2019 (ACADEMIC) - Handed out in class January 28th and 29th.
Due at the end of class January 30th and 31st.

Today in class you will rotate through most of your classmates to discuss your chosen Question before you submit it for teacher approval.

You will have two minutes at each station before you rotate to the next classmate. Make sure to discuss both questions during that time.

Consider discussing the following topics:
- Provide your partner ideas for their question - modify/change it if needed.
- Ask for help with your own presentation ideas.
- Ask your partner: What is your answer to your big question?
- Help your partner brainstorm ideas or sources.
- Can you think of a book/website/movie/song/etc. that relates to your partners topic or question?
- Is their/your question broad enough to have more than one LOGICAL answer?
- Ask your partner: Why did you pick your question?
- Ask your partner: Is there a better way to word my question? (Think formal)
- Is your question clear? Your partner needs to understand your question without you having to explain it to them.
