Starter
  1. Share your final Sustainable Development Proposal essay with me
  2. Prepare for our writing conference beginning Thursday!
  • Self-assess on the rubric you completed last week: To what extent did you hit the mark on ALL categories? Grade yourself on the rubric for each category!  
  • Write me a paragraph explaining how you have shown growth between your first draft of your timed essay earlier this semester (or first draft of your college essay) and this proposal essay, especially in the areas you set goals for yourself.  Use specific examples from your essay that show growth to support your claims. If you don’t feel like you’ve reached success with the specific writing skills you meant to develop, talk about why.

Announcements!
  • Proposal essays due today, start of class
  • Morning pod: Wednesday breakfast?
  • Nov. 29th: Wolf Symposium at FLC! 
  • Honors-- questions for ​Windfall

STUDENT HANDOUT: "The Pitches and the Choice"
  • Ashley will go over the process for out pitches and how we will choose our issue of focus. 
  • Make a copy of this document and use it for notes this week OR use the hard copy Ashley provides in class.

Step 1 Develop Pitches: With your focus group, draft  a 5-minute pitch, which you'll deliver to the class
  • What is the problem? How is it related to sustainability?
  • What are the consequences of NOT addressing this problem?
  • Why is this the most important issue we choose?? You can choose the angle you take to answer this question, but here are some options:
    • Convince us this is the biggest problem or most unsustainable issue in our community
    • Convince us this is the issue we can make the most difference on
    • Convince us there is a ton of political and social mobility on this issue
    • Convince us that you are passionate enough about this to inspire us for the next four weeks or so!

Pitch Development Tasks:

  1. Catchy Project Title
  2. Develop visuals/slides
  3. Hook/interactive element?
  4. Practice pitch at least twice all the way through in preparation for tomorrow.

Deliver Pitches: 
I'll draw group names out of a hat to decide the order we present
