Announcements and this week's schedule

1. I have started providing feedback to essays. You'll find the RUBRIC at the bottom with your current grade. Once you refine it, I'll regrade it. However, I am not giving additional rounds of written feedback. If you have questions or concerns about your drafts, you can schedule a conference during work time this week or after break.
2. This week, we'll focus on MASKS and EXHIBITION PLANNING
3. When we get back from break, you'll have 7 days of class before exhibition night!  If you are behind on your mask by the end of this week, you might want to take it home over break.

Today's Lesson Powerpoint (text of it posted below)

Starter (5 min)

1. How do you envision our exhibition?  What is important to you to communicate to our audience?  What kind of experience do you want people to have?  What do you want it to look like?  Freewrite for 5 minutes- don’t stop typing!  Get as specific as you can.

Norms for Today

1. Think big and creative! 
2. More ideas are better than less
3. Yes AND...build on each other, no negativity about other ideas!

Dreams and Gripes (10 min)

1. In your small group, think about all the exhibitions you have seen, participated in and been to.  These could be in school or professional (museums, interactive experiences, etc.).  Verbally brainstorm a list!  
2. Dreams- 3 minutes- 
   1. 1 Per post-it
   2. Hopes, dreams, positive things you want to see, accomplish, or share 
   3. Think about what you want this exhibition to feel like, what information you want to share, and what you want to offer your audience.
3. Gripes- 3 minutes-
   1. 1 per post-it
   2. What do you want to avoid in this exhibition?
   3. What doesn’t work in exhibitions?
4. Winnow: 
   1. Group similar ones together
   2. Narrow to top 3 of each
   3. Put on board!

Restraints:

1. Engaging, Informative, Interactive
2. Need to incorporate masks and essays in some way- don’t need full essays, but how to display this writing?
3. Have 2 weeks to pull this off (really 1 week + setup time)
4. Will be doing this on campus- have our room, commons, hallways, Sara’s Room (can subdivide these rooms with sheets if need more spaces for themes/ideas)
5. We have a little money, but not a lot.  Have basic things for hanging stuff, sheets, lights, etc.
6. Have two full days for setup

Ideation Time: How Might We… (20-30 minutes)
What is a HOW MIGHT WE that you have?  (give some examples).  Write one down!

3 minutes, as many post-its as possible for each one!

1. How might we make exhibition ENGAGING for our audience?
2. How might we make exhibition INFORMATIVE for our audience?
3. How might we make exhibition INTERACTIVE for our audience?
4. How might we effectively display the MASKS for maximum impact?
5. How might we effectively share ESSAYS (or parts of the essays) for maximum impact?
6. Then add a HOW MIGHT WE based on the ideas on the board from dreams and gripes
7. Sticky note as many as you can 3 minutes.

Cluster the ideas

• I create Google form with top ideas- you choose top 3 to work on, I create the groups  (survey for project managers).  
• Must take this survey before the end of class, so I can create groups by tomorrow.

Work Time

1. Work on your mask
