2 different basic ways to start a creative project presented through flowcharts that show one part to the next. This aid should be used to help students struggling to start, present or progress in their projects. Basic flow chart method used to map out or plan aspects of the project.

I have found that using flow charts allows students to realize what they have achieved, organize their projects more efficiently and also plan key steps for a project.
