Student work sessions were held at Lincoln Middle School on April 23rd and 24th. During 45-minute increments, groups of 25-35 students participated in drawing activities and discussions.
The following list summarizes and loosely categorizes student ideas and insights recorded during these two days. Duplications have been minimized.
