DO NOW: SHARE THINKING [3 min]
Share your P-Block folder (which should have ALL you documents and thinking in it) with your new advisor.
DO NEXT: PREPARE ELEVATOR SPEECH [5 min]
You have 30 seconds in an elevator with someone who is looking to fund a new project. They already know what P-Block is, but they don't know anything about your project.
Prepare a 30 second elevator speech about your project, the problem, your plan, etc. Even if you are working in a group, everyone must share one out.
GATHERING: SHARE SPEECHES [1 min total per person]
Everyone in the group will take turns standing in front of the group sharing their speech. 30 second speech + 30 second thumb vote and feedback.
At the transition, the next person should come up front and the Feedback Collector should be giving the notes to the previous presenter.
Presenter: In 30 seconds, convince the audience to buy into your project. Then, listen respectfully for 30 seconds to feedback.
Audience: Listen respectfully for 30 second speech while writing any questions or feedback you have for the presenter. After the presentation, participate in a thumb vote and 30 seconds of feedback.
Time Keeper: Please keep time for the presenter and the feedback
Task Manager: Please help the time keeper by redirecting the group back to the task when necessary
Feedback Collector: Collect the feedback after each presentation and make sure it gets to the presenter
STUDIO TIME | PROPOSAL REVISIONS + CLOSED QUESTIONS [at least 30 min]
1. Review and revise your proposals. These will be your first ELA P-Block grade of the semester. Please make sure you have considered all feedback provided to you. It might be helpful to look through the feedback from your elevator speech and make sure the questions that were asked are answered or reiterated in your proposal.
2. Closed questions research and more questions. This semester the first few days of research phase will be dedicated to answering the questions you posed during ideation and asking more.
- Determine the way you will be collecting and documenting your research.
- Answer your CLOSED QUESTIONS today. What do you need to know about your topic that will give you a better understanding of it and the problems related to it?
- Ask MORE QUESTIONS. Throughout today, you should add at least 2-5 MORE questions to your open and closed question document (it might be helpful to do this in a different color)
- Cite and annotate sources in Easybib
- Create your annotations in a Google Doc first. In the past, we have had trouble with Easybib reloading randomly and students losing annotations. To safeguard against that, please write the annotation in a doc first and then copy and paste it into Easybib. REMEMBER TO SAVE YOUR ANNOTATIONS!
