2. Attributes (key aspects /dimensions) of my interest:

___________		___________		___________		___________		

3.  Free associate on each attribute above to uncover more understanding of what's interesting/ important to explore: ask one other person to listen to your ideas, help you consider more possibilities; now switch and give the other person a chance to do the same. 

4. Choose ideas (e.g., the top 3) from your attribute lists that are most interesting to you. 
Based on these, construct a statement(s) about what you would like to do for your synthesis project.

5. Ask your partner to comment on your project statement: Consider using SCAMPER to help one another improve, refine each other's problem statements.

6. Compare the outcomes of this exercise with any original ideas you had for a synthesis project. For example, what new insights/understanding did this process promote? What seems clearer to you? What questions did this help you raise about how to help shape the process?
