GATHERING: So what?
Purpose: Reconnecting with the significance of projects, going beyond what is already known and made.
Quick Jot (write for 5 minutes without stopping):
- What is it about your project that prevents anyone from saying "So what?" after you tell them about it?
- What is your personal commitment to the ideas, emotions, and outcomes of your project?
- If someone took this project away from you, what would you still be fighting for?
- If someone were going to provide $100,000 of funding to just one IDEAS Block Project, why should it be yours?

NOTES:
REFLECTION: Credibility of Research
Purpose: Provide an opportunity to confirm or challenge quality of research sources.
- Circle Up
- Share one source, explain the characteristics that make the source credible
- Document characteristics of credible sources for the group.
NOTES:
- All students will be doing an annotated bibliography this semester. The deadline is next Friday, October 7.
- This means that some reading and annotating may need to take place outside of project block time.
- Check it: If you can't stop thinking about your project because you are so intrigued by its potential to solve, change, impact, express something important to you, then reading should be something you want to do.
- If this is not the case, what do you need to do to modify your project focus?
