Exhibition Survey- Every student fills this out

Conference Check Ins
Get in your cohort groups and discuss the following:

Check In- How is everyone doing?
EXHIBITION TALK! What is each of you exhibiting? How will you make it engaging/interactive for the audience? Where in the school would you like to be located, and why?
Critiques- Who are we doing a project tune, dilemma protocol or critique with this week? If your group is doing 2 critiques- Both on Tuesday, or 1 Tuesday and 1 Thursday? What do you need to share with your group for your critique?

To Do Lists

Open your Action Guide, review the notes from your check in with your cohort leader.
Go onto your to-do list document
Update your lists for this week.
Make sure you have ample documentation (pictures, notes, screenshots, emails, links) for what you accomplished last week.

Work Time
Get stuff done! Your project should be really close to finished (if not entirely done) by the end of this week. This is particularly true given the rumors I hear about attendance next week.

3.2- Critiques

4/30/2024

Announcements

Money is GONE. Lori’s senior project fund is tapped out. You will have to find other sources for funds/materials at this point.
This week = DANGER ZONE check ins. If, by the end of the week this week your cohort leader is concerned about your progress, there will be emails/calls home, and admin will be notified as well. You will also likely be required to stay at school during 5th and 6th periods until you have made sufficient progress. Nobody wants this, so let’s not, okay?
We have 3 WEEKS until Projects are DUE. Time to make real progress.

Project Tunes

People being tuned today- take a moment and come up with a focusing question. Write it down.
Do your project tunes! Follow the protocol!

Work Time

To-Do List- Update your to-do list for today AND for Wednesday. Put any documentation you have from yesterday in there.
Project Critique Reflection- If you were critiqued today, they need to complete a reflection that will be shared with their cohort leader.
Do Things! Get some stuff done in the remaining hour or so of cohort time. Make sure you are set with your plan for tomorrow.

4/22/2024

Slides for Today

SERIOUS FACE WARNINGS, re: Attendance

You must be ON CAMPUS and IN THE CLASSROOM unless you have received specific permission from your cohort leader that day for a specific reason.
All off campus activities should be scheduled for 5th and 6th, or Weds mornings, as much as possible.
Consider this your last warning- the next step is emails home and revoking your off campus Weds and afternoon time.
4 absences = no graduate. Some of you are climbing towards this already. If you leave early, we change your attendance to an absence.

Exhibition
Time to really start thinking about this! At the end of this week, I’ll want this to be a part of our conferences- what is your plan for Exhibition?

Conference Check Ins
As a group discussion the following questions:

Check In- How is everyone doing?
Excitement- What are you most excited about right now related to your action projects? What went well last week?
Learning- What’s one thing you learned last week? This could be a concrete skill, a time management strategy, something academic…anything!
Struggles- What are you struggling with? Offer ideas to help your group members!
Critiques- Who are we doing a project tune, dilemma protocol or critique with this week? What do they need to bring in or share with the group in order to have a successful and helpful critique?
If your group is doing a separate exhibition…discuss what that looks like, make a list of what needs to be done, and assign tasks to individuals.

To Do Lists

Go onto your to-do list document (make sure it is shared with your cohort leader!)
Update your lists for this week- perhaps look back at the notes from your conference with your cohort leader!

Just a few reminders about today.

You are more than welcome to work on campus, in the Maker Space (with Kyle), or in my room (with Grayson, because I'm out sick).

If you are off campus, please DOCUMENT what you are doing. This could take the form of links, screenshots, photographs, notes, or a written log of how you are spending your time and what you accomplished. We will be looking at this during our conferences on Friday.

A few other minor work tasks to consider completing today:

Create a document titled Your Name- To Do Lists. Make a to-do list for this week, and put all your documentation for the week below that list. Share this document with your cohort leader.
Finish action project guide (make it detailed!!!). This is due at the start of 3rd tomorrow, shared with your cohort leader.
