Begin brain storming on ideas for your portfolio project. It’s probably preferable to get 2-3 ideas for project and then discuss them with your teacher on Monday.

Read this page describing the portfolio concept for this semester. In particular, focus on the section about “Project Ideas”.

For Monday: Create a small presentation that you can show on Monday during feedback with your ideas. The presentation should include:

• A short description of each idea
• Pros and Cons of each idea
• Ideas for how the UI could look like (just think about it - or sketch something on paper)
