Monday, February 6 | Proposal Revisions


ANNOUNCEMENTS:
  • Proposals were due to Google Classroom on Friday.  They are officially late.  Please turn them in ASAP for review tonight.  Advisors will be making final decisions on RESEARCH location (which may be completely different than your intended CREATION location). If you don't have the Google Classroom code, please ask your advisor to invite you to the class. 


DO NOW: [5 min]
Go to the Proposal Page on the IDEAS Block Blog.  Look over the page and ask any clarifying questions about the proposal process or expectations.

GATHERING: Headline [15 min]
Purpose: Isolate and share the essence of your project to focus revision.
  • Imagine you've finished your project. Write a headline that announces what you have accomplished, solved, found, expressed, or otherwise done. 
  • Headlines must have a noun and action verb; they are short but specific; they bring attention to the most important information; the report newsworthy happenings.
  • Share headlines.


STUDIO TIME: Revising Proposals [45 min]
Purpose: Engage in a conversation about projects through interpreting feedback.
  • IDEATION Advisors should share feedback with students’ proposal drafts submitted from Friday.
  • Students consider that feedback and revise as needed.
  • What is your next step?
    • Complete missing proposal pieces.
    • Revisions of Proposal - What specifically?
    • Communicate with IDEATION Advisors, seeking help and clarification.
  • Please stay within IDEAS Block rooms. IDEATION Advisors may arrange collaborations, if needed, through Google Hangouts. 

Have you turned in your proposals and made revisions based on the feedback you were given? If, and only if, both of those are true and your ideation advisor approves, you should start answering your CLOSED QUESTIONS. 
Please remember to...
  • document ALL your thinking, further questions, found information, etc. Make your thinking visible! This is evidence of your habits of mind and will also be essential for the continuation of your project. 
  • add your sources to Easybib and annotate them. It is easier to do it right away than have to come back to it. 


TICKET OUT: Evidence of Learning [10 min]
Purpose: Share proposal status.
  • Have you submitted the Proposal Submission Form and attached your completed Proposal?
  • If yes, GREAT! If no, state how you will get this completed by 3 PM today.  Keep in mind that proposals were DUE LAST Friday.
