Assignment Specifics: Step #1 + Step #2
You have two current assignments on Google Classroom. Here are the particulars for Step #1, which is due by Monday at 5PM. Use class time to submit this work, since it requires only a small amount of writing:
Write a paragraph or two offering your insight into your upcoming schedule as it pertains to your Pareto Project ideas. Don’t overthink or overanalyze; focus on what you and I both need to know as you begin this Pareto Project.
Step #2 has a deadline of Wednesday afternoon, again at 5PM. Use the following directions for the already-posted assignment:
Write a reflective and insightful record of the “idea smithing” part of the project, including your thoughts on how the Google+ Community collaborated. Keep this to less than a page, unless you have pertinent analysis of that community to offer that requires more.
First, though, you must settle on an idea, share it with your classmates on Google+, and seek feedback there. Turn that digital space into an extension of and entrance into our physical classroom this week. The necessary links, which are posted alongside further instructions in our last post and the current iteration of the guide, are reprinted below:
Second, you must compress your idea into 120 characters or so and add it to the following Google Form, which must be completed by Wednesday afternoon at 5PM, when the rest of Step #2 will be checked in:
Those are the four assignments that you must complete this week. In list form:
- Write a short, explanatory response about your schedule and time as instructed in Step #1 of the Pareto Project guide.
- Share your ideas, critique the ideas of others, and otherwise collaborate online and in class.
- Write a reflective response about Step #2 of the Pareto Project guide.
- Submit your final project idea through the provided Google Form.
Step #3 is explained next.
Step #3: Due Monday, December 19
The calendar for this Pareto Project, which is always up-to-date on Google Drive, shows that the official proposal for your Round 1 Pareto Project is now due on Monday, December 19. This date is unlikely to change, because we need to lock in your projects before the winter holidays. The first required checkpoint is the day you return.
You will be given the updated guide with Steps 3-5 on Tuesday, December 13. That will allow some of you to move directly into Step #3, the proposal, while others will need the next two days to finish Step #2. Everyone will use the end of the week to set up digital portfolios and accounts, and to meet with me and peers about the proposals themselves.
If you have any questions about this, ask them in class or below.
