Working Together
There are two main ways to ways to collaborate in this unit.
1) Partnership - you will work in a group of 2 on the project.
2) Support Group - you will be expected to have your project considered by your peer support group and you will participate in the support group to help others refine their project. This support group will consist of three teams, and will be allocated by your teacher.

Partnership
You have the opportunity to work with a partner on your project.
Be aware that although working with someone seems fantastic you need to consider how you will work with them. These issues include
1) How will you connect outside of class? (will it be face-to-face, Skype, Google hangouts etc.)
2) Who will be responsible for what tasks? (consider a discussion on division of labour before you start)
3) Identify which tasks you must complete individually and which you can complete jointly.
