Week of November 9th - 13th | Creation Phase: EoL Visioning & Professional Models

What will 6 or 10 hours of creation look like for your project this week? Yes, 6 hours of your school week is reserved just for you to crawl into your project and grapple with the constraints and possibilities of creating whatever it is you have envisioned. Progress toward fulfilling that vision, so that your project communicates your thinking and understanding to others in the most memorable ways. If you can commit to the 6 hours we provide, you'll see how 4 more of your own will be valuable.

Part of this process is engaging in your disciplinary groups. Please enact previously designed ritualized weeks and, as the Creation Phase progresses, discuss, evaluate, and tweak routines. The Ritualized Weeks document should reflect changes. Please use the same document to support students with multi-disciplinary projects, who may need to participate in the professional models, feedback, or other aspects of another discipline.

Items to incorporate into Ritualized Weeks: 

MONDAY>>

IDEAS Exhibitions of Learning Vision Form This form is necessary for formalizing a plan for Exhibitions of Learning, both on the part of the individual creating the project as well as for creating the schedule of events. Please complete this form (ONE PER PROJECT) with attention to detail and professionalism. If you have already completed the form, but have questions or tweaks, please contact Madison O'Brien. Students who have underdeveloped projects at this point, will conference with Molly, Kimberly, or Madison to identify Exhibition constraints.

WEDNESDAY/THURSDAY>>

We will have a regular hour of Project Block in the morning on Wednesday and go to JMKAC in the afternoon for Footlights :  AXIS Dance. We will prepare for this experience in Advisory and reflect together as a school, however students should also document connections, extensions, and challenges as the professional model relates to their projects on Thursday. A studio journal would be a good place for this to land. More information here.

FRIDAY>>

Evidence of Learning Jupiter Reporting This week, Project Advisors will look at evidence of Habits of Work, Self-Discipline, and Communication. Groups are encouraged to generate examples of evidence collaboratively at the beginning of the week. Next week, disciplinary rubrics will be introduced and an initial critique will also be entered into Jupiter as Evidence of Learning.
