Starter 15
An elevator pitch is a 30 second up to one minute description of your idea designed to be complete enough so that when the elevator doors open and the executive that you’ve been scaring flees for safety, they have a complete idea of what you were pitching them, so they can go and present it as their own. 

1. Write down the elevator pitch for your thesis
   
   1. Ideally this would be your thesis statement with some context as to why it’s important
      
   2. That way you cover the intro, background, evidence, and analysis all in one go
      

Outline Critiques
We are going to be following this protocol, which should seem a bit weird compared to what we’ve done previously for critiques. Instead of relying on your peer’s critiques, you’re going to be reliant on your perceptions. Strange I know, it will make sense once you get started. 

1. Brace yourself for the onslaught of thinking and speaking
   
2. Follow directions on the handout and watch for the timers
   
3. Take notes when you notice somewhere you need to improve your outline
   
4. Be prepared to make changes when necessary
   

Outlines are due Tomorrow Night at MIDNIGHT
You have off campus Wednesday tomorrow to get ‘er done

1. Outline needs to be done before your SPAM 2 meeting
   
2. When you are done, SHARE it with your Senior Project Advisor, along with a nice note about how they should read it before your SPAM 2 meeting
   
3. Writing starts on Thursday, so having an outline will be advantageous
