  3. Insight
  4. Need
  5. Provocation
  6. Response
  7. 5 Ways to Well-Being 
The assessment has to be able to speak for itself, a stand alone piece. Anyone should be able to pick it up and understand what it is asking. Also it has to have a clear and functional aesthetic. It will be a printed, A5 booklet with a max of 1,000 words. Along side will be a 90 second presentation.
The blog needs to include the documentation of the reflective diary as well as documentation of the discussions of the exchange group.
