Week of April 20-24 | Professional Models and Habits

At the end of this week we will be one month from Exhibitions of learning! This is "gut-check" week! The week you ask yourself: "What do I have to do to make this project happen? to meet the expectations that I set for myself? to create a high quality interpretation in order to engage an audience in new thinking about my topic?"

Habits of Professionalism:

  • EARLY WEEK: Revisit your Habits of Learning Conversation from early in the semester (connecting it to the creation phase now) and/or Habits of Work Paper Sculptures (giving the opportunity for revision or remaking, as a reflection on the creative process). Everyone should have the intention of organizing or maintaining evidence for their Evidence Check on Friday.
  • MID WEEK: Professional Models are always important, there are two significant experiences to consider this week. How will the Lexicon of Sustainability (Re: Karen Mead Library on Wednesday) and Camille Brown (Grades 9 and 10 at JMKAC on Wednesday) CONNECT/EXTEND/CHALLENGE your project?
  • FRIDAY: Evidence Check. As a disciplinary group, you will follow through on your evidence plan for this semester. Advisors are encouraged to have a whole group, small group, or 1:1 conference to review evidence and connect the evidence to Habits. This evidence check will be reported to Jupiter to give students, parents, and everyone an indicator of how projects are progressing. 
Exhibitions of Learning: 
  • If you have not completed the form to sign up for an Exhibition space, please see Molly's email and do so as soon as possible. 
  • Exhibitions are on May 26th and 28th. Please take off of work and plan accordingly.

Research Paper Redux:

  • Communicate and meet with Addie to make sure that your completed or revised Research Papers are reviewed.

UPCOMING PROFESSIONAL MODELS:
(Please adjust your calendars, as these will take place during P-Block.)

APRIL 29th - Colleen Machut and the Huzzah Theater Troop will be performing as a professional model for the creative process and for an Exhibition of Learning. This will be at IDEAS. (We are looking for a staff volunteer to cover Coleen's first class.)

MAY 14th - Louder Than A Bomb is a documentary about young spoken word poets showing at the JMKAC. They are just beginning a residency that will continue into the fall. They are doing a special showing of the film for us.
