    Note: I want to stick to this timeline as much as we possibly can because in the past we have struggled with finishing projects ahead of time but it's extremely important for this one. Which is why we have given ourselves that last week as an "Extra week" to ensure we get everything done in a timely manner before the deadline.

Here is a screenshot from when we worked on the breakdown and timeline throughout class today.
