BE AWARE ...
Balfour will be here at lunches today and tomorrow to accept invitation/cap and gown orders ...
ALSO BE AWARE ...
If you haven't turned in a Macbeth project and/or aren't keeping up with us on these first stages of the research paper, you probably won't be needing invites or a cap and gown this year. Just sayin.
TODAY ...
- Find your group on the side board and sit at the appropriate desks (the group numbers are on the manila folder at each area). You will also need your pink papers from yesterday. If you do not have a topic selected already, you will need to work on that instead.
- We will be working with partners to find questions to help guide our research using the QFT method. The rules of the game are as follows ...
- The first round will be 3 minutes per person to brief/inform the rest of the group about your topic. No one should speak or ask questions except the person giving the briefing.
- Round 2 ... 4 minutes per person ... everyone in the group will ask questions about the topic according to the following guidelines:
- Ask as many questions as you can
- Do not stop to discuss, judge, or answer the questions
- Write down EVERY question exactly as it is asked
- Change any STATEMENT made into a QUESTION
- We will rotate - discussing one topic at a time. When it is your topic, you are responsible for recording the questions on the clean side of your pink sheet.
- Round 3 ... Same, except 3 minutes per person.
- Round 4 ... 2 minutes per person
- Round 5 ... You will review the questions you've recorded and will select the 3-5 you think will be priorities in your research - look for open ended questions that cannot be answered absolutely or with one word answers. Put stars by them.
