Feedback will be given in pairs or small groups of no more than 4

Homework, if desired: continue development and revisions

Participants will continue to revise their work from Day 1

Participants will receive feedback on new developments in small groups

Participants will respond to and receive feedback on work from a final prompt (or continue work on their chosen idea)
