11/2/2018

Announcements

Homework the next week is just to interview your stakeholder group and write up stakeholder interview notes!
Senior Project Research- Don't forget...you should be working on this in your spare time. You need to have notes on 3 sources, and the MUST be complete before your conference, which is due before Thanksgiving break. See the resources linked on the Senior Project page of my DP for more details.

Starter
On a piece of loose leaf paper or in an email, write Lori a note to describe your general well-being at this point in the semester. How are you doing? How have you been managing any stress or challenges in your life? Feel free to share as little or as much as you feel comfortable. If there is anything you feel I can do to support your own efforts to live a personally sustainable life, include that as well.

Reminders

Take a look at the list of updated questions for our class question bank and select any you want to add to your own interview questions document
Be sure to use the opening questions and Sustainable Development questions!
Take a look at other students' interview documents if their stakeholder is similar to yours for more ideas
Deadline for interview write-ups is WEDNESDAY, NOV 7th.

Stakeholder Research Requirements

Schedule the interview! Contact stakeholder(s) to arrange interview- when you schedule the interview with you, note it in the Stakeholder Spreadsheet. Remember, interviews can be in-person, on the phone, or via email. You will likely get more in-depth answers in person or on the phone!
Interview Write Up- Create a google doc and link it to the Stakeholder Spreadsheet. When the interview is done, you need to write up your interview. Make sure your interview write up includes:
1. How does this group define the problem?
2. What are the major needs/wants of this stakeholder group? What solutions would they support?
3. What are the values or assumptions that you saw from this interview? Give specific evidence or quotes to support your reasoning here.
4. Powerful or enlightening quotes from the interview
Supplemental Stakeholder Research
1. Do a little internet research on this stakeholder group.
2. Try to find the answers to the following questions:
  1. Who is this group? What defines them as a group? Do they have any shared values/needs/wants?
  2. How many people are in this group in Durango? La Plata County?
  3. Demographic data
  4. How economically influential is this group?
  5. Is this group already taking action on this issue? If so, what kinds of actions are being taken?

Hey all- I'm out today with a sick kiddo. Please follow the directions below carefully. If you need any clarification, send someone over to Ashley.

Honors: Windfall discussion today. If you would like to join Ashley's afternoon class, please do so!

Stakeholder- Brainstorm and Groups

Freewrite: Make a list of all the stakeholder groups you can think of for our issue.
Fill out this Google Doc with the stakeholders
Find a group of 2-3 people that you work well with. Sit with them!

Interview Question Brainstorm

Brainstorm in your group: Interview questions that you think we should ask ALL of the stakeholder groups. Let’s get a list on the board! Someone want to make a google doc and link it? That would be awesome!

Stakeholder Choices and Research

In your group, choose one stakeholder group to interview (there can be some overlap if all groups are filled, but you must find a second person in that group to interview)
Do a little research, and find some specific people who fit in this group. These could be personal contacts, people you find on the internet, etc. If you can come up with more than one, GREAT. Put all you can find on their contact info into the Stakeholder Spreadsheet.
Create a document, and title it “Stakeholder Interview Questions: _______(name of stakeholder group)”. Link it to the Stakeholder Spreadsheet.
