How can we improve our community?
Who are we as a community of thinkers, innovators?
Today's objectives are to complete the project and to prepare for Exhibitions. Please see what can be done to make sure that each person is making a meaningful contribution to the project.
DO NOW: Each person should claim what they will personally need to do today, first step. A student who has emerged as a leader in this mini-project should provide an overview of progress so far and help facilitate a projection for how time will be used today. Who will do what? For how long? What are your own expectations for quality?
CREATION PHASE - COMPLETE!
Based on yesterday's outcomes and intentions for today, create and carry out a plan for completing the project. Remember to balance the need to also prepare for an exhibition. There will be no time for planning tomorrow (Friday).
---> Someone from each Project Block group should email Kimberly a short summary of the project and what you will need for your Exhibition: Space? Technology?
EXHIBITION PLANNING
Mini-Project Exhibitions are tomorrow!
Time: < 10 minutes (Do Not Exceed)
Goal: An exhibition of learning communicates your group's ideas, question, process, and creative choices in order to engage the audience in a new way of thinking about the topic of "community."
Include:
- What is the problem/question that you are trying to solve or address?
- Define your focus for the project. What is the solution or claim you are able to make, after doing research?
- Share some of the the research that influenced you.
- Explain who is affected by your project. Also, try to connect it to what you know about the audience.
- Explain how you arrived at your final project AND highlight the specific, intentional choices made to develop the project.
- **Bonus: If you are clever with communication and time-management, engage the audience in a thinking routine or feedback/response of some kind.
