NYC Tap Water - Project Reflection due Monday 12/16 @ midnight

This week almost everyone presented their tap water campaign projects (or position papers). 

Now that they have been completed reflect on the learning, planning, and creation process.

I am interested in knowing your thoughts about this project and if/how it helped you learn.
