The Tool Box

This section contains full size blanks of all of the tools presented in this workbook. It also contains a three page set of scoring forms that can be used to judge how well a team's presentation follows the project development process itself. You can use these forms to evaluate your own team, or other teams, as they make live or taped presentations of their project work.

This workbook is organized using a "page pairs" layout. In other words, the pages shown above can be found on the right hand side of the workbook when it is opened. Opposite each of the above pages you will find visual summaries of the page's content, tip sheets, or exercises that can be used to help you transfer the concepts and ideas into workable, effective applications. Only the text pages are numbered, so the workbook actually contains more than fifty pages.
