26. Putting the Pieces Together26

27. The Big Picture When I say GO, The Greens/Reds will:
Go to Green/Red poster, taking with you your puzzle piece, and crayons and/or markers.
Put your puzzle together in the middle of the poster.
With your like-color partners and with your new knowledge, discuss the “big picture”--using your telescope to peer into the future.
Around your puzzle, jot down “elevator statements” about PPEMs and where this work will lead us as a state.
