Last lesson, you…

• Joined up with other students into a group
• Assigned yourself roles within the group
• Submitted a project proposal
• Started to make independent progress on your games project

Today, you will…

• Review your progress so far, and decide what you will be working on next.
• Hold a stand up meeting, and set a weekly milestone
• Make more independent progress on your project

Once you’re in your group, you should hold your next stand up. You should recall what you did last week, and decide what to do next. Each member of your group should have tasks which will help you all meet your milestone.

In your group, look at your milestone – whatyou want to have done at the end of the lesson. Once you’ve agreed on this, start working! Give yourself enough time to discuss your progress at the end, and self-evaluate how well you met your goal.

Remember – if you’re making changes, you should be doing these on a copy of the original work, so that you can go back if needed!
