OVERVIEW AND TASKS
Advisees will need to consider whether they will carry on with their interest/topic solo or buddy-up on their interest/topic or join another person on their interest/topic.
With Advisor guidance, advisees will determine how they might frame their interest within the context of our MICDS mission statement values: responsibility, problem solving, compassion, critical thinking, standing for what is good and right, purpose and service.
DECISIONS AND ADVISOR GUIDANCE
WHEN & HOW
TO SHARE WORK
Advisees will start working on their interest/topic posters or the mini/sample size product referenced on the poster after a consultation with advisor
Note: while partners can share one final interest/topic poster for the gallery walk, the mini/sample-size product presented on the poster will need to be unique to each advisee.
Two students decide to work on juggling techniques together in S2
One poster sharing the basics of their project
Advisee 1 could include a link to a short instructional video they made demonstrating one style of juggling
Advisee 3 could include a sample of an infographic on one style of juggling.
