1. What is the thesis of your project?  Give it to me in one sentence. If you’re not sure, give it your best shot!
2. For our critiques on Thursday, what are you going to show?  What do you think the focusing question of your critique should be?

FALL PROJECT- Project Check In Notes
See this document for the notes and next steps Kyle and Lori took!

Project Status Meetings

1. Updates- What did you accomplish today?  What was the feedback from your meeting with Kyle and Lori?
2. Individual Priorities/To-Do Lists + Dependencies- Use arrows!
3. Challenges- What’s hard right now?

Work Time

1. Get ready for critiques- make sure you have something to show on Thursday, 5th period.
2. SIGN OUT on Lori’s board if you are leaving for ANY PURPOSE.

5th Period- Build on Storytelling with Data

1. Thesis Statements: Come up with the thesis statement that is driving your project.  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!
2. 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. 
3. 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:
   1. Exposition: Presentation of the topic and context of the data analysis; why are we trying to ask this question now?  What is the context readers will need to understand to care about this?
   2. Confrontation: Presentation of the central question and the challenges involved; what are interesting observations and problems?  This is where you use the structure from the Narrative Type you chose!  For example, for change over time, you will probably want to start at one time and explain the data, then move to another time, and explain how the data changed, and WHY.  
   3. Resolution: Concluding wrap-up with recommendation for action; what insights does the data analysis yield, and what things might need to be changed? 
      1. What story does this data tell?
      2. What are the key insights here?
      3. What types of actions or changes does this data recommend?
      4. What further research is needed to gain a more complete picture of this, or to better identify solutions?
