Thursday, September 21st | Proposals Ahead

ATTENDANCE: Please take attendance here.

NOTE - We will not be completing 1 minute videos, pitching the What, How and Why of a project idea. This is simply due to the technology limitations. However, you will still give a one minute elevator pitch for the What, How, and Why of a project idea live, and in person on Friday. 1 minute is very short. Write notes.

PROJECT ADVISORS - If you haven't already guided the process of developing an organizational system for students to capture their daily goals, notes, ideas, resources, research, etc. Please take time to do that today.

ACTIVATOR: What do you think: Can a paper airplane be a p-block project? Why or why not?

• Move to the front of the room if "yes"
• Move to the back of the room if "no"
• Must choose one or the other for one reason or another. 
• Discuss and share reasoning.

PAIR & SHARE: What about this? Is this a project? Explore the link to discover What, Why, How.

1. What is the project? What is the question or interest he pursues?
2. Why did this person create this project? Why should other people pay attention to this project? 
3. How did the project come to be? How did the project get created?

So, is this a project? If not, what would it take to make it one?

How should we go about determining the right "size" or "scale" for our own projects?

WRITE YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH:

• You will have one minute. Timed. 
• What, How, and Why does not have to happen in order in your elevator pitch.
• Prompts:
• What is a project idea that you have? What question or interest does it explore?
• Why is it important to you? Why will it become important to other people?
• How will you go about beginning this project? How will you try to communicate the ideas you discover through this art form?

PRACTICE YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH 3x! 

*Remember this isn't your formal proposal, but it is an essential exercise in focus. By the end of today, you will know whether or not this project is one you want to continue with or if you should go home and write a new elevator pitch for tomorrow. 

*You will write a formal proposal soon. What else do you need to get to a project idea that really matters? 

Friday, September 23 | Proposals Due Today

The focus of Friday is the continual work to clarify thinking about projects through writing. These proposals are essentially the criteria against which students can measure their own success and growth. At the same time, they serve as a map for how we will use staff and school resources to support each project.

Consider the elements of a successful proposal, and the assessment standards to which those elements correspond:

• Driving Question -- Wondering
• Personal Connection -- Connecting
• Research Plan -- Reasoning/Interpreting 
• Creative/Innovative Project/Art Form -- Innovating
• Overall Proposal - Deadline -- Habits of Work

Please take attendance using the spreadsheet. Next week, we will be in disciplinary groups, to be determined at tonight’s proposal meeting.

GATHERING: Headline [10:00 - 10:15am]
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.

READ ALOUD: Student Blog [10:15 - 10:25am]

Purpose: Reconnect with purpose and opportunity of Project Block

• Read Ted's Student Blog Post on Creativity
• Clarifying Questions? Values? Concerns for your project? Next Steps or Suggestions for your project or projects in general?
• Optional: If you look closely at your headline, how might you revise it to make a greater connection to the blog post? What might you need to add, revise, question about your current proposal to push it even further?

STUDIO TIME: Finish Writing Proposals [10:25 - 11:10am]
Purpose: Engage in a conversation about projects through interpreting feedback.

• Staff should share feedback with students’ proposal drafts submitted yesterday.
• Students consider that feedback and revise as needed.
• What is your next step?
• Complete missing proposal pieces.
• Revisions of Proposal - What specifically?
• Communicate with staff, seeking help and clarification.
• Please stay within project block rooms. Staff may arrange collaborations, if needed, through Google Hangouts. 

TICKET OUT: Evidence of Learning [11:10 - 11:15am]
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 3pm today.

Thursday, September 22 | Proposals Due Tomorrow

Please take attendance using the spreadsheet. Staff, please consider taking notes on this spreadsheet about students' project ideas and possible project advisors. The more information we have about each project, the better we will be able to assemble groups.

It is important for everyone to understand the importance of meeting today's deadline, and tomorrow's. Tomorrow evening, the entire staff will look at each proposal, providing feedback and direction. It is rare and valuable to have all of our great minds focused on you! The more information we have during that conversation, the better we can support you and your projects for the rest of the semester.  Today, you will submit a draft of your proposal to your current project block advisor.


DO NOW: Participate in this survey  [10:00-10:02am]

Purpose: To provide data and help Ethan with his proposal.

Thoughts of Breakfast and Food

DO NEXT: Review Proposal Page [10:02 - 10:15am]
Purpose: Clarify directions and expectations. Generate suggestions

• Read Proposal Page independently
• Open your proposal document in Google Drive
• As a group, discuss the parts and purposes of the proposal. Clarifying questions? Please consider that this is a formal piece of writing. What will it take to effectively communicate your ideas, so that the proposal is approved and you end up with the advisor who has the expertise/resources you'll need?

STUDIO TIME: Write [10:15 - 11:10am]
Purpose: Complete proposals for creative and innovative projects.

• Set up norms for Studio Time writing based on your space and group. 
• Determine noise level.
• Determine location for conferencing with staff and create an order/sign up for conferences needed.
• Students should stay in their project block rooms today. Since everyone needs their own proposal, groups can share documents with one another or email if needed. Staff should keep Hangouts open, in the case that exceptions need to be made. 
• Write proposals.
• Make sure no one wants to say "so what?" when they read about your project idea. 

TICKET OUT: Share [11:10 - 11:15am]
Purpose: Submit your proposal, in whatever state of completion it is in, to your current P-Block advisor for preview.


Staff, please remember that we will meet tomorrow at 4:00pm to review proposals. Please gather as much information about students' intentions with their projects as you can. This can be done through project block, advisory, and classes.

Wednesday, September 21 | Questions

There has been a range of conversations this week, spanning the spectrum of our Habits of Learning from a fixed position about what does make a project (because that's what we've always done) to the fluid thinking of what could make a project (because it's never been done before). Please remember that a project "topic" (like painting the life cycles of sturgeon) needs your personal attention and affection. So what? (Why paint life cycles if you can already google them? Who cares about sturgeon anyway?) You must defend your purpose. Keep the wheels spinning for the next 24 hours...and more.

Today's focus is questions. Questions lead to discovery as well as clarity. We would like all proposals to include open and closed questions.

Please take attendance on the spreadsheet. Staff, please consider taking notes on this spreadsheet about students' project ideas and possible project advisors. (See my sheet as an example.) The more information we have about each project, the better we will be able to assemble groups.

The following agenda is to be used at staff discretion. It is important that students follow up on their work from earlier this week, sharing out progress or getting feedback/extensions, but it is also important to make time for developing questions. If you haven't already shared out initial project ideas as a group, start with a gathering. If students need more time to organize and ideate, start with studio time. Please make sure that the group gets what they need.

The plan is to write proposals from beginning to end during IDEAS Project Block time tomorrow, Thursday, September 22.

DO: Questions [Time: You decide]
Purpose: Create and capture questions to guide and clarify thinking about a project.

• All students should create a document in their Google Folders called Firstname Lastname | Questions | Fall 2016 and create a table with two columns. Label one "Open Questions" and the other "Closed Questions."
• Review the questions page on the Humanities Website.
• Try to create 20 open and 20 closed questions for your project idea. 
• Begin by describing your current project idea above the table in your doc.
• Start listing questions, as many as you can.
• Ask for input using a pair share, move chairs, or conferences.
• Read questions and make sure they are in the right category of "open" or "closed"
• Highlight or bold the 5 most significant questions in each category

DO THIS, TOO: Ideation, Studio Time, & Proposals [Time: You decide]
Purpose: Get real with yourself. Commit to a project idea. Prepare to write a proposal.

• Set studio time goals. What will you do? Why? What evidence will you have?
• Share them with peer or advisor.
• Use studio time
• Reflect on studio time...what will you commit to doing/thinking/deciding between now and 10am tomorrow (Capture these intentions in a public/shared place.)

Please remember that GWT is a good opportunity to continue to develop these ideas. Students are also encouraged to discuss project ideas with their Humanities teachers, who will be helping with the writing of proposals and revisions.

Tuesday, September 20 | Ideation

Today's focus is to continue ideation. Students should have a purpose for the ways in which they choose to interact with their own ideas and be prepared to show evidence of thinking. After some studio time we will come back together as a group to offer feedback and to push each other's ideas toward clarity and creativity.

Please take attendance on the spreadsheet. Staff, please consider taking notes on this spreadsheet about students' project ideas and possible project advisors. The more information we have about each project, the better we will be able to assemble groups.

Note Regarding Student Surveys: Do not send a mass email to collect student opinions. If you need survey data, create a form and share it with Erin (ethomas@etudegroup.org) first. She will help you with revising it, so that it meets IDEAS standards of data collection. Your survey will then be posted here, as a Do Now. This protocol helps them with their project, and it helps the community because the project they share with us will have more meaning and a stronger impact on our learning.

DO NOW: Provide Data [10:00-10:02]
Purpose: Help Casey and Bianka with their proposal

• Skin Disorder Survey

DO NEXT: Organize [10:02 - 10:10am]
Purpose: Review evidence of thinking and learning, prepare a mindset for ideation.

• Organize and review evidence of thinking and learning from where you left off yesterday. 
• Prepare one piece of evidence to share with the group. Now that you look back at your thinking from yesterday, what stands out to you and why?
• Review the lists created by your group: 1) Yesterday we developed a menu of different ideation strategies. Each person shared something that has worked for them. Look over this list as you decide how to spend studio time today.  2) On Friday we developed a list of qualities of memorable, important, creative projects. Look at that list as a reminder of what we are working towards this semester. All are challenged to go beyond the obvious, beyond the first idea, beyond what you think you know now.
• Create a studio time goal and write it down in the same place as yesterday. Be specific about who, what, where, when, why you are doing what you are doing. Name the evidence you expect to have at the end of the time.  EXAMPLE: I intend to use today's studio time to collect news stories related to the idea of caring for elderly parents. I will create a list of bookmarks.

GATHERING: Share [10:10 - 10:20am]
Purpose: Utilize the group to make best use of time and resources today.

• Go around and share evidence of thinking and learning from yesterday as well as studio time goal for today. 
• For each person, highlight values and suggestions for their goals.  EXAMPLE (for the goal above): I value that you are looking for more perspectives on the topic "caring for elderly parents." I suggest you try to find about how elderly people view their lives; find out what they want. Try ideation by using the of circle of viewpoints thinking routine.

STUDIO TIME: Ideation [10:20am - 11:00am]
Purpose: Develop an understanding of ourselves and the world and transform that understanding into a project idea.

• Follow your studio time goal, intention.
• During studio time, students are encouraged to spend some time in independent ideation but may travel to other rooms to meet with staff or students. (Please do not gather in hallways.)
• Remember to collect evidence of your thinking. This includes notes from conversations with peers and staff. 

Year Long Projects: If you have not already filled out this application, do it by the end of the day TODAY. Also make sure to email your proposed panel members as early as possible.

Year Long Project Application

EXTENSIONS: Ideation [11:00 - 11:15am]
Purpose: Share ideation with peers who know your intention in order to get new ideas. Remix.

• At 11:00am everyone should return to their rooms and "set up" their evidence of thinking and learning from today and/or yesterday, by placing it in a spot on a table next to your manilla folder. It should be "set up" in a way that others can look at it. 
• As people return to the room, they should do a gallery walk - looking at the ideas of others and placing post-it notes with probing questions and extensions. How can this person get their ideas to really great project ideas? What might be an interesting remix?
• EXAMPLE: If I created a mind map for prehistoric sturgeon, I would place it on the table. Other people in my group would come over and read my mind map. They would leave post it notes with questions like "I wonder what the geography of the Wisconsin River and Mars have in common?" or "What if you designed a dress inspired by the way sturgeon look?" They might also challenge me with extensions like "How are you going to get people to care about sturgeon?" and "What are you trying to express through a project on sturgeon?"

Collect all feedback and evidence.

Monday, September 19 | Organization, Ideation, and Proposals

Today it is important to look for opportunities to tie up or connect to the work of your groups last week.  To ensure effective communication between students and staff during proposal week, please document all thinking. Today's organization will help.

Please take attendance using the spreadsheet. Staff, please consider taking notes on this spreadsheet about students' project ideas and possible project advisors. The more information we have about each project, the better we will be able to assemble groups.


DO NOW : Organization [10:00 - 10:10am]
Purpose: Establish a common organizational system that will ensure clear communication and house evidence of learning.

• Inside your IDEAS Block folder created last week, create a blank document called : Firstname Lastname | Habits of Learning 1 | Fall 2016
• Also create a blank document called : Firstname Lastname | Proposal | Fall 2016

DO NEXT : Habits of Learning Reflection [10:10 - 10:20am]
Purpose: Reflect on how the Habits of Learning apply to the ideation process and development of project proposals.

Use your document called Firstname Lastname | Habits of Learning 1 | Fall 2016 to write an informal paragraph about how you used each Habit of Learning in the process of creating or revising example remix projects last week, in the process of ideation, and in the process of becoming a group member. Which Habit of Learning is your strength? Which is most challenging to you?

• Habit of Learning : 1) Approach tasks with an open mind
• Habit of Learning : 2) accept challenges
• Habit of Learning : 3) seek to understand when we do not understand
• Habit of Learning : 4) use evidence to document learning

When you are done writing, turn to the person next to you and share out your strengths and weaknesses.

IDEATION: Studio Time [10:20 - 10:30am // 10:30 - 11:00am]
Purpose: Generate project ideas that connect with the personal interests, preoccupations, passions, and feelings of students. Provide time and space for discussing project ideas with possible staff advisors.

10:20 - 10:30 >> As a group, recall past experiences and use the ideation page to create a Menu of Ideation Options. Students should share out what has helped in the past that might also help others come to a project idea? If you are going to remix, where can you discover your inspirations?

For example, make lists that help you remember things about yourself - just listing favorite places or smells can inspire so many ideas. For students who love galleries - when you look at other people's art, try to think about how to connect. You might look at Stuart's curated Pinterest boards, or use Google's Cultural Institute to visit global galleries, or look at TEDxTeen for idea starters.

Each person should identify what forms of ideation they think will help them most, and list them on the outside of their Manilla folders. Even if they don't get to them today, they will be there for tomorrow.

10:30 - 11:00 >> Studio Time and Staff Conferences. Students are encouraged to use this time to use an ideation method from the menu of options and/or start a conversation with a staff member or potential project group. In order for this to be productive, students should set a goal for this time. This goal should be written in a new digital document in the newly created Google Folder or by hand on Manilla folders. Examples:

• I am going to talk to Mike about videos use zombies to pose solutions to environmental problems. I will have a list of videos to watch and research when I get back.
• I am going to create a list of my favorite aspects of camping, because I realize that camping is a topic and I'm not sure how to make it into a concept or project idea. I just need to understand it better as a project idea. I might talk to Beckah about this, because I know she like to camp.
• I am going to talk to my friends to figure out if we still want to do the project we talked about last month. If we do, then we need to make sure that the project is really a project that addresses a problem or expresses something meaningful. How can we get it to meet the expectations we talked about last week?

Staff should engage in 1:1 conferences with their group members while balancing the students who may visit and need assistance.

All students should return to their groups at 11:00am.

TICKET OUT : Reflection [11:00 - 11:15am]
Purpose: Document thinking and progress. Identify next steps outside of Project Block time and for tomorrow.

Students should write and share reflections on their studio time goals. How effective was the choice for how to use time today? How do you know? What will be necessary tomorrow?

Week of September 19th - 23th | Ideation, Initial Research, and Proposals

This week, we will focus on developing our own project ideas through remembering, reflection, and refinement. Proposals are due on Friday. Staff is encouraged to prioritize time for students to ideate during project block. 1:1 conferences are the reason we have such small groups. Some questions to guide 1:1 conferences:

• What are you working toward as a person, a professional, an artist? 
• What inspired you to do, say, write this? 
• How did you get to this idea? 
• How would this idea be different if we remixed it to one of the concepts in the hallway? 
• Why is this project more meaningful, impactful than existing work on this topic by you or other people in the world? 
• Who could you talk to stretch or strengthen your thinking about this idea? 
• So what? 

We will continue to make thinking visible throughout the ideation process, so that we can see how our thinking changes, what influences us, what challenges us, and how we use our community and resources to learn and create. Keep group thinking alive in the room. Keep individual notes in the manilla folders we started last week.


OBJECTIVES THIS WEEK

• Accept the challenge of stretching projects toward greater extents of innovation and more profound creativity. 
• Reflect on Habits of Learning: As part of our lifelong pursuit of learning, in the face of unprecedented technological, global, and professional changes that will require continual learning, we strive to... 

1. APPROACH TASKS WITH AN OPEN MIND 
2. ACCEPT CHALLENGES 
3. SEEK TO UNDERSTAND WHEN WE DO NOT UNDERSTAND 
4. USE EVIDENCE TO DOCUMENT LEARNING 

• Apply and name Habits of Mind through the creative process 
• Analyze and select professional models and inspirations related to a particular concept in academic content or creative form. 
• Develop generative and focused questions. 
• Engage in open dialogue with peers and professionals about project ideas. 
• Make Thinking Visible in order to understand details of passions, skills, interests, etc that might seed incredible projects. 

MONDAY>>
Continued ideation toward project proposals. Students will collect inspirations from their own experiences and from staff suggestions. Initial project ideas will be tested against the criteria established for creative and innovative projects.

TUESDAY>>
Focus on questions. Students will sift through ideation notes, narrow their project focus and begin developing open and closed questions to guide their projects. All of this is done with an emphasis on proposing a project that addresses a meaningful problem and/or expresses an essential idea, feeling, or thought.

WEDNESDAY>>
Write project proposals. They are due tomorrow to your current advisor for review.

THURSDAY>>
Review and revise project proposals for final submission.

FRIDAY>>

All students will use the Proposal Submission Form to submit their proposals. Staff will gather after school to determine project advisors and provide feedback. Students will receive feedback on their proposals and make revisions, clarify details next Monday.



Who are we as an intellectual community?
How do we analyze and share academic research?

Friday, September 16th | Ideation & Initial Research

Who are we as a community of thinkers, innovators?

What do I need to know about myself and my community, in order to develop a project?
How can I document and share my thinking through effective routines and organization?

Please remember to take Attendance.

At the end of this week of exploration, we begin narrowing ideas toward a driving question and a course of research.

DO NOW (10:00-10:10): Five Minutes of Research, and then SHARE OUT
On a scale from 0-5, how much information did you find? Share out, including one piece of new information and the source. Consider, the quality of the source.

SEE. - What did you notice in your 5 minutes of research? In our share out?

THINK. - What do you think a lot/little information in 5 minutes means? What do you think about the quality of sources found in 5 minutes?

WONDER: What does this experience make you wonder about your own research process.



EASYBIB SETUP (10:10-10:30): Set up an account and new project in Easy Bib by following these directions. 

• Click login on the EasyBib website. 
• Click Sign in with Google so that your new Easybib account is associated with your Etude Group email. Click allow. 

• Click +New Project 

• Title your new project: First and Last Name | IDEAS Block | Fall 2016

Tuesday, September 29th | Beginning Research

Who are we as a community of thinkers, innovators?
What is academic research? How can it enrich my proposed project?

Today we will meet in disciplinary groups or proposal focus groups. (Advisors, please be prepared to direct student to new locales and take attendance using the spreadsheet. Groups will be comprised of the following:

1) Students who have complete proposals and have met with Addie - ready to begin research!
2) Students who have project experience but have not met with Addie because they were at WEF yesterday - ready to begin research, but may not have annotations set up; these students could review the annotation resources independently today, knowing they will work with Addie on Thursday.
3) Students who are new to projects and may not have proposals that are ready for research - should continue to revise proposals and find research to respond to closed questions. These students will meet with Addie tomorrow.

Disciplinary groups will focus on getting to know one another's questions and project ideas as well as working to get everyone to or past the beginning point of academic research. 

DO NOW: Students and staff work together to get into disciplinary groups and into Addie's workshop for today. Once students arrive, get ready to share project ideas by opening proposal documents on Chromebooks and reviewing driving questions.

TIMI (Science Room)
MOLLY (Dance Studio)
TIM/ERIN (Engineering Room)
MIKE (Drama Room)
STUART (Visual Art Room)
KIMBERLY (3307)
DAN (Writing Room)
DREW (Music  Room)
ADDIE (Cafeteria)

GATHERING:  Circle up! Take turns sharing out driving questions and project ideas! (Even if a student is not quite ready with a complete proposal, they should share out ideas.) At the end of the sharing out, identify topics, characteristics, goals that projects have in common. Document these in the room.

RESOURCES: As a group, identify a list of essential resources for the week. List each one on a whiteboard and discuss/note their importance for different goals.

Example: This blog! Important for knowing what is going on on a daily basis - helping us know whether we are on track, get important links, and find out if we've missed anything while away.

STUDIO TIME:

• Set a goal for studio time: What will you complete/revise by the end of IDEAS Project Block today? 
• Write a work plan for studio time: What steps will you need to take, in order to complete your goal? What resources will you use? 
• Set a stretch goal for studio time: If you finish your goal, what will you do next? 

***Advisors should try to work 1:1 with students who do not have complete proposals. Try to update Jupiter to reflect the current state of approved project proposals and those still needing revision. Please use comments to provide insights.

REFLECTION: Share out successes from today's studio time.

• Set a stretch goal for studio time: If you finish your goal, what will you do next?

STUDIO TIME: Document/share goals. Make it all happen!

• Advisors should try to meet briefly with each student to find out the status of their proposal, project, and course of initial research. 
• Students beginning research are encouraged to review the Academic Research page on the Humanities Website for a definition and the Research and Annotation page for specific sources and guidelines for keeping track of what is being read. (Note: There will be specific lessons to support this next week.)

CLOSING CIRCLE: Wave-around! (Again) What are you looking forward to in your research?
