Monday exhibition work

One great part about doing exhibitions over the past three years is that kids start to develop their own ideas about what exhibitions should consist of. We have four parts in our exhibitions this week:

Project block one, where we worked on the CSpan videos
Project block two, where they worked on their own projects
College: how their work in the college courses went
Future: how their work this quarter supported their future goals

PB1:
Why did you choose your topic?
How did your tracker reflect your work?
What was your process?
What would you have done differently if you had more time?
How did you work throughout the project?
Did you follow the rubric? if so, does your script reflect your film?
How did your interview impact the video?
Did you enjoy this project?
What was your favorite part?
What skills did you gain?

PB2:
Explain what your project is.
What resources did you use?
What were your deliverables? Did you complete them?
What is your final product?
How did you apply the W skills?
How did you apply our 4 words?
What did you learn in the process?
Who did you meet or connect with?

College:
What experience did you gain from being in college class?
How did the work prepare you for what to expect once you’re in the real world (college)?
Did the classes make you want to pursue college for 2-4 years?
One piece of work you’re proud of?
What was a challenge for you and how did you accomplish it?
Did you fulful your goal in that class?
How did you feel about the presentations we did?

Future:
How did my approach to this project help/hurt me?
Has my future map changed?
What skills did I develop that I can use in the future/other areas?
How can I use my problem solving skills now and in the future?
What do I want to do, and how does my work help me get there?
Who can help me now and in the future?
Have I lived up to the goals I’ve set?

Quote from Julian Barnes

Quote from the weekend:

Was there a greater portrayal of the shattering of human illusions than King Lear? No, that was not quite right: not shattering, because that implied a single great crisis. Rather, what happened to human illusions was that they crumbled, they withered away. It was a long wearisome process, like a toothache reaching far into the soul. But you can pull out a tooth and it will be gone. Illusions, however, even when dead, continue to rot and stink within us. We cannot escape their taste and smell. We carry them around with us all the time. He did.
(p.93)

Is a dream a lie if it don’t come true, or is it something worse?
