All students must complete the following form prior to November 22nd. The form provides important information for planning and coordinating Exhibitions of Learning. It gives students voice in the format for sharing their learning for public exhibition and also for assessment. It may be frustrating to have someone else make these decisions on your behalf.

Week of November 13th - 17th | Process Essay & Exhibition Envisioning
Process Essay
As part of the English Language Arts requirement for Étude Project Block, students have been working on creating a process journal. The journal is a place where the thinking, questioning, justifying, analyzing, and planning has been taking place. In order to synthesize the process and learn what and how learning is taking place in Project Block, students will use their process journal to write a process essay. The Process Essay is a requirement. The details of the essay and specific expectations will be communicated by the English Language Arts teacher assigned to your Project Block: Heather, Addie, or Kimberly.
Exhibitions of Learning will be the week of January 8th.

Exhibitions of Learning will be the week of January 8th.
- STEP 1: Take off of work for the week - Exhibitions of Learning need your attention, your effort, and you'll want some rest. Inform your family and friends that you are not available, though, they are invited. Cancel your dentist appointments and all your other appointments. Do not go on vacation. This is a big deal.
- STEP 2: While you are revisiting your process journal to write your process essay, and while you are creating your amazing, innovative projects, please consider the format that would best suit your project and audience:
- A Presentation: This is the best way to reach a large audience at one time. In most cases, presentations are 20 minutes long and take place in the JMKAC Theatre or Matrix, where you are standing at a microphone and sharing your learning/making process with an audience. Your goal is to share with them but also engage them by getting them interacting with your project and/or your project ideas. Presentations are important for projects where it is necessary to perform a dance, show a film, or share a detailed process including phases, data, and more. The majority of projects take place in this format.
- Click Here for an Example
- A Gallery Walk: This is the best way to have your audience physically interact with your work, as is done in an art gallery on an opening night. You will stand with your project with notes, prepared to engage the audience in a thinking routine or another way of interacting with your project. You will be there to share your research and process, while trying to convey the overall purpose of you project and the message you want the audience to take with them. Gallery Walks usually span for 45-60 minutes and the gallery is shared with other students, while the audience rotates form project to project. Fewer projects will fit into the gallery format.
- Click Here for Overview
- A Roundtable: This is the best way to get public input, specific feedback, or have a critical conversation about your project and related topics. You will facilitate a 20 minute roundtable up to 3 times with different audiences. Fewer projects will fit into the gallery format.
