Wednesday, February 9th | Professional Model & Reading Day

Please be patient with students finishing proposals and those needing to join or leave your group to get individualized support. Our goal is to get everyone in the right spot by Friday morning.  

Please take attendance using the Attendance | Research Phase | Spring 2016 document. A friendly reminder to read proposals of your group members, provide feedback, and update Jupiter.

DO NOW: Revisit Norms
Purpose: Provide an opportunity for all students to have voice in and to commit to norms.

  • Take some silent think time to observe yesterday's chalk talk or other products from norms discussion
  • Clarifying questions?
  • Values? 
  • Concerns? (Things you can't live with?)
  • Suggestions? (Missing things you can't live without?)
  • Vote
STUDIO TIME: Reading Day
Purpose: All students should refine proposals to the extent possible, organize research resources and plans, and get to a point of reading today.
  • Use established norms for setting and communicating studio time goals.
  • Possible Studio Activities:
    • Refining proposals, establishing clear project expectations between students and staff
    • Set up EasyBib project for Annotated Bibliography
    • Identify reading list, search terms, open/closed questions to answer
    • Locate a source
    • Read
    • Annotate
    • ...
  • Reflect on and communicate progress on studio time goal
PROFESSIONAL MODEL: Staff Selected (if time...this could also be a Do Now for tomorrow)
Purpose: Look closely at professional work in order to gain insight on how the creative process is used to fulfill an intention; gain inspiration for projects; discuss how professional models serve as part of academic research.
  • Introduce professional model
  • Share model
  • Thinking Routine
  • Together, try creating a citation and annotation for this model as a piece of academic research. Annotate it as you would any article or book. Do this in a discussion format to expose the kinds of thinking involved.
