Cross Campus Workshop

As a small group, create visual representations of your design on Post-Its (you may use as many as you need). Please write clearly and with LARGE letters, and include all information discussed, including the prompts to be used. Someone from your group should be prepared to present your pages very briefly (1-2 min) to the whole group. We will then use them in the next seminar activity (Campus Team Time).

Have Fun!
