Committee Project Feedback and Issues

The class is divided into committees to work on a city transportation project. The narrator's group, consisting of Jimmy and Sheila, faces challenges in collaboration and planning. They research transportation, plan a poster, and write a booklet. Conflicts arise, especially with Sheila's bossy attitude and a mishap with the poster caused by the narrator's brother, Fudge. Despite setbacks, the group resolves issues and completes the project, which is well-received by their teacher.
