We started today's class by reviewing the list of projects that had been generated from people's interviews with peers and community members. We added a few items that were gleaned from late in the game interviews.
We then had a series of discussions using the concentric circles discussion format where people have a number of conversations around different questions with different partners. Individuals were asked to take notes while their partner spoke.
We used a discussion sheet to track these responses. Everyone then reviewed their notes and wrote up their perspective with respect to which three projects would be the best choices and why (this is the question listed at the bottom of the discussion sheet).
If you are making this assignment up, you don't need to interview a partner, you can just respond to the questions from the discussion for yourself. You can then use those answers to generate your formal written response about which three choices are best. The list of brainstormed projects is available here.
After everyone had a chance to formally identify three projects they felt would be worth undertaking, we revisited the list of brainstormed projects and identified ones we felt could be eliminated. Anyone could suggest a project for elimination, if there were no objections the idea was eliminated. If someone felt the project idea warranted further discussion, we left it on the list.
Homework:
Revise your college essay or resume and resubmit it for assessment.
(Feel free to come in and work with me individually if you would like help revising your essay or resume).
If you did not finish your response about which three projects would be best for our class to pursue, do so for homework.
