Announcements

1. HONORS- Meet in my room Wednesday during 1st period.  Have ALL the reading for Week 3 completed!  Be ready for more specific discussion questions.  
2. Wednesdays- Period 1 is catch up/work time, or honors meeting.  Periods 2-3 are with Kyle and I. EVERYONE must be here for these hours. Period 4 is catch up/work time/office hours.
3. Seminar Response Revisions- For me to regrade these, you must HIGHLIGHT and COMMENT on things you revised.  These do not need to be long comments, but they should indicate what you did in your revisions. This helps the re-grading process be more efficient.  We will not regrade resubmissions without this. 

Starter 12- Fill out the Senior Project Advisor Document

1. Put your most refined and revised version of your research question, and a 1 sentence summary of where your project is on this document
2. This document will be used to pair you with a faculty advisor for your senior thesis.
3. Tomorrow I will have a survey for you to communicate your preferences.

Data that Matters Discussions
I’m going to put you in a small group. In that group, I’d like you to discuss the following questions:

1. Go around your group, and share what topic you studied (poverty and…).
2. What are the most interesting things you discovered or learned about this as you researched?  Work to make connections between your research and knowledge here!
3. What big questions arose for you as you started to think about this research?
4. What are the implication of this research for policy?  What are some possible solutions to the issues you see here?
5. How can you connect what you and your group members found to what you’ve observed in your own life, or in our observations of Durango?

Storytelling with DataPut in groups based on topic

Framing: This is an exercise in complexity, patience, and problem solving.  I’ve noticed a trend of panic with open-ended things. This leads to anger, and then teachers give you what you want (a box to fit your stuff into).  For this piece, try to engage in the puzzle aspect of it- how can you tell a story?

Thesis Statements: Come up with the thesis statement that summarizes the conclusions of your data that matters assignment.  This should be ONE sentence only.

1. In groups, compare thesis statements you came up with.  Look at similarities and differences, get to one that you all think is the driver of this project.
2. Write that thesis in the middle of the butcher paper!
3. Underneath it, write down which of the 7 types of narratives you think this is- if you think you need MORE than one type, list that/those too!
   

Individual Narratives

1. Individually come up with a statement that drives your personal data narrative.  Again, this should be one sentence!
2. Determine which of the 7 types of narrative you think will be MOST engaging/useful/appropriate for this particular individual thesis. 
   

Map These on Butcher Paper

1. Large group thesis in the middle
2. Branch others out.
3. Use labeled arrows to draw connections between your arguments- how does one logically connect to the others?  What is the most logical sequence to introduce these?
4. Outline YOUR Segment of this: See outline assignment on Google Classroom. Outlines are due Friday at the start of class, but earlier is better! Conference with Grayson or Lori when yours is complete. ​
