What do I need to know about myself and my community, in order to develop a project?
GATHERING: Circle up! Start by revisiting the criteria for a quality appreciation, from Advisory/Town Hall last week. In a go-around, share an appreciation from mini-project exhibitions on Friday. Students are encouraged to share an observation of another group, rather than something from their own group.
COMPASS POINTS: To make the transition from mini-projects to independent projects, go through the process of developing compass points and discussing/addressing specific points in a conversation.
- E - Knowing that you have the opportunity to choose and design your own project, what are you most Excited about?
- W - What are you worried about?
- N - What do you need to know, before moving forward or to be able to envision the semester?
- S - What suggestions to experienced students have for the semester? For ideation?
IDEATION: As a group, review the approaches to ideation that we have looked to in the past weeks and semesters. Also, see if there are other ideas or experiences or suggestions for ideation out there. Capture and share new ideas.
Suggestion: Begin with lists or mind maps of passions, interests, skills, and transformative experiences.TICKET OUT: Headline: If someone was writing an article about you during ideation today, what would their headline be?
