At the end of the project, you can send a copy, along with project documentary material (photographs, etc.), as your final report, on the memory stick provided to you or on a disk. Feel free to add new slides if you see the need for them. If your project includes schools with different questions, have each school fill out a separate template.

How do you plan to document your project, and at what stages?
What information do you need to answer your general research question (and specific questions, if you have them)?
How will you gather that information? What methods or tools will you use? (E.g., photographs, journal writing, interviews, surveys, etc.)
How will you keep track of your documentary material so you can reflect on it later?
