Week of November 2nd - 6th | Creation Phase

Create! There are six weeks between now and our December 11th project deadline!

This week, groups should follow the routine they designed and reflect on its effectiveness. (Advisors will share these out at this week's staff meeting.) If some groups are still in transition, please reference last week's post. (Remember to communicate with Addie and Beckah regarding writing.)

MAKE IT OFFICIAL (by Friday)

As we progress through the week, students will be asked to provide an overview of their projects and translate their creative intent into a vision for their Exhibition of Learning. All will need to provide the following in a Google form we will send out on Friday :

  • Project Title (Official)
  • Driving Question
  • Summary of Intent (150 words)
  • Exhibition length and format.
We will also want to know dates, times, and locations of any other project-related events happening. (For example, a meeting with the Mayor or an open mic that you've planned to showcase your music.)

This information will be used to develop the marketing, schedule, and venues for Exhibitions of Learning.
