What do I need to know about myself and my community, in order to develop a project?
How does the world work?
How do the needs of my community and audience influence my research?
Today we will present findings from our week of reading and research, in order to clarify our own thinking and to gather feedback from our audience. Advisors, please be continue to direct students to new locales as proposals are completed and approved. Take attendance using your tab on the spreadsheet. Look for emails from Addie and/or Beckah for further clarifications. Remind year long projecteers to review the expectations and schedule a panel meeting as soon as possible.
DO NOW: Prepare three findings from research this week to share with your disciplinary group. For each, include a piece of new information and the source: (10-15 minutes)
Example: According to Rosalind Wiseman of TIME, 78% of males who play video games state they do not like or dislike a game based on the gender of the protagonist, and, as male players get older, they care less about whether the protagonist is male while women increasingly seek female protagonists as they age.PRESENT FINDINGS: Take turns sharing findings - focusing on findings that will engage the audience in new thinking and questioning about your topic/project.
- Introduce project idea and driving question.
- Share three findings.
- Collect responses from the room (audience) - What clarifying questions do they have? What grabs their interest most? What connections can they make to their own research? Are their specific suggestions for additional reading?
STUDIO TIME:
- Set a goal for studio time: What will you complete/revise by the end of IDEAS Project Block today? [Suggestion: Read and annotate one source.]
- Write a work plan for studio time: What steps will you need to take, in order to complete your goal? What resources will you use? [Suggestion: See yesterday's steps.]
- Set a stretch goal for studio time: If you finish your goal, what will you do next?
REFLECTION: How well have you used studio time this week? Fist to Five
What is one suggestion for the room/group or one personal commitment for improvement next week?
