Humanities: Feedback and Little Things Essay Intro
We'll start with our last few Composition & Culture presentations and some feedback for those presenters.
From there we'll break into our four stations because TUESDAY!
STATION 1. FRANKENWORD with BOISELLE. You'll be using Roots 12 to have a FrankenWord experience with Ms. Boiselle.
STATION 2. FEEDBACK TRENDS. (Production Phase of DEEP dt) Go through the feedback you've received on your Composition & Culture presentation. Answer the following two questions in either a blog post OR an email to Ryder/Brackett
A. What trends do you notice across the feedback? Things people noticed OR things people seemed to overlook that you noticed?
B. How might you apply this feedback to a revision/next iteration of your presentation? What's your action plan?
Haven't finished your presentation? Use this time to work on it.
STATION 3. FEEDBACK with BRACKETT. Have a conversation with Mr. Brackett about the presentations and how a next iteration could improve the situation.
STATION 4. BRAINSTORMING and ROSE/BUD/THORN with RYDER.
Today you are being assigned your next essay. The first submission draft will be due early next week. Exact date TBA.
Little Things Essay
How might we design essays in which we share experiences of our own, or those of others, where a little thing had a significant (big) impact? Consider objects, moments in time, single experiences, interactions . . .
In this station you will first brainstorm and spidea (word association) and then sort those ideas into Roses (gorgeous ideas), Buds (neat thoughts but not sure where to go with them), and Thorns (stay away from these ideas OR wrangle them carefully)
We will be using Post-Its. Lots of Post-Its.
