Learning Target:
I’ll start today with the situation in Myanmar. They are in the midst of what appears to be their first fair and free election in decades as they emerge from a military dictatorship. This is a situation I’ll keep you updated on over the next few days. Here is a quick summary.
The rest of the day will be Senior Project time. We’ll first go over the research question worksheet from the research question handout. Getting a good research question is essential to make paper writing process go smoothly.
From here we’ll go over the Personal Learning Plan that will form the basis of your POL presentation in December. You really need to feel solid on your topic before you launch into this document. So, I’ll check in with you on your topics for the second half of the period. We’ll work to add to the list of project ideas that Lori’s students have been developing.
I’ll also collect the worksheet and survey from the rest of you.
Homework due
Individual assignments for group project
- We can refine a general research question to something that is clear, focused, and complex enough to 10-20 page paper
