Friday, December 6th

Continue with your group critiques today!

AT EXHIBITION, you will need display:

Your written rhetoric

Your visual piece

Your bibliography

Your project topic/question/thesis/title should be clearly on display in a way that allows folks to see at a glance what your project addresses. Perhaps make a "table tent" if this isn't otherwise on display.

(OPTIONAL): Your personal essay, especially if it helps your audience understand your message

SUBMISSION/REFLECTION/DP UPDATES

Project Submission and Self-Assessment (due Sunday, December 8, midnight)

• Submit an annotated version of your project where you have used the bullet points of the rubric to demonstrate how your project meets the standards (or doesn’t).  For video projects, this “annotation” can be done on your script and/or by giving a detailed run-down of where in your video you have met the rubric standards.
• Include a copy of the rubric scored on parts A-D.  What grade do you deserve on this project?

EXHIBITION CREW: Want to vision quest with me?

Thursday, November 14th

Starter:  Reflect for a few minutes on where you are in the project and what you might
need feedback on. Write a focusing question for today’s “tune.”

Project Tune

In groups of 4, follow the steps to “tune” each other’s’ project ideas.  

Step 1:  Presenter shares draft and project ideas.  Presenter should also share struggles and a focusing question on which the group should center the tune.

Step 2.  Group members ask clarifying questions to better understand the project idea and where the presenter wants to take it.

Step 3.  Group members ask probing questions that help the presenter think more deeply about their project.

Step 4.  Group has a discussion about the project, addressing the focusing question  and sharing ideas. Presenter should take notes during this phase.

Step 5. Presenter should take a moment to verbally process what new ideas they might have about next steps and refinements.

Step 6. Rotate and repeat

After Tune: Add some reflection to your starter. What ideas/thoughts did I get out of today's tune? What are my next steps?
