Project Prep Proceeds

I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend.  I spent most of mine driving with my daughter from Tennessee. She is home for a quick visit so it was nice to get the extra time with her and Tallululah (her golden retriever) in the car.  Any guesses as to how long it takes to drive from Nashville to Cape Cod?

Before we start class today we need to do something for our school community.  Mrs. Finnemore and the Yearbook Club would like us to take the 2016 Pop Culture Survey.  The results will appear in the yearbook this spring.  Please answer the questions honestly and be sure to submit it when you have finished.

After completing this survey, please check you email on your iPad (or workstation.) There is an important announcement in Google Classroom everyone must read!!  After you have read the announcement you will start with the work listed below.

This week you will continuing "prepping" for your first group meeting.  You need to ready so you will be a productive and effective group member.  You will be taking notes, searching for more sources, and taking more notes.  Keep your question in mind, and more importantly keep thinking of a possible solution or answer.   You will need to print out your research if you took digital notes. (Don't worry, I will hang on to the hard copy for your!!)

Once you have finished your research, you will do a quick Spring Cleaning of Your Digital Life .  Please use the resource I have left at your workstation or open the link above.

The final task of the week is to explore and select a "mind mapping" tool.  I have a couple of app options and Google Drawing.  Mind mapping is a very cool way to make your thinking visible.  This will be another piece your will bring to your first team meeting along with your research.
