The Week of March 16-20th | Transition to Creation Phase

Researching and designing an argument for your topic through the Research Paper should prepare you with the intellectual fuel for the creation phase of your project. Of course, it is not as simple as this. Some researching, revising, and envisioning is still needed. Some is ongoing. With the hope that individuals and groups will interpret plans for their needs and continue a discussion on Habits of Learning, this week is designed to give everyone the contemplation and accountability needed for this transition. 

Objectives:

• Students will use reasoning to synthesize their research for themselves and a specific audience, creating an original argument, thesis, and claims.
• Students will reflect on their Habits of Learning and Work.
• Students will observe and analyze professional models in related disciplines.
• Students will create and share connections between their research and art from.
• Students will envision a process for their creation phase, including accountability in the form of feedback, deadlines, and publishing.

MONDAY>>

The status of the group will drive the week. Determine and share out the status of each project. Develop plan to make multi-faceted work environment work. Writing and revising is a must for the majority of people. Utilize the writing center, and not just during Project Block.

Foci: Reasoning to synthesize research; Reflecting on habits; Envisioning a process

TUESDAY>>

Today is about approaches for collecting and interacting with professional models, as a one step toward the creation phase. Time for soul-searching, for those who are still envisioning their own art forms.

Foci: Observing and analyzing professional models; Connecting research and art form; Envisioning a process

WEDNESDAY>>

This is the absolute deadline for bridge papers. As disciplinary groups, we will use questioning to realize some new and challenge existing connections between research and art forms.

Foci: Observing and analyzing professional models; Connecting research and art form; Envisioning a process

Here's that conversation about feedback. Disciplinary groups will generate formats, conditions, and timelines for feedback. These will be shared out to other groups. The planning, timelines, and making will begin to take shape.

Foci: Connecting research and art form; Envisioning a process

FRIDAY>>

Thematic statement workshop. Given all of the thinking, planning, envisioning...what is the essence of the project? These statements will be a driving force for the creation phase.
