Deliver Pitches

Deciding on the issues and Next Steps SEMINAR

1. Of the issues listed on the whiteboard, which 2 issues are you most passionate about?   Why?
2. Are there any issues that you think either aren’t truly unsustainable practices or don’t have enough complexity for our class to address in a holistic manner (Think about the 3 spheres?  Any issues you really DO NOT want to work on?
3. How should we choose the top 2 from our pod? How should we choose the top issue from the entire grade? What is the best process? Do we need more information? If so, how should we gain that knowledge? Do we need more time? Do we just need to vote? If vote, should it be by majority rules? Consensus? What’s the most FAIR way to choose?
4. Once we decide on our issue, what should our next steps in the project be?  Plan out the next three “phases” or steps in our project. Think about what you learned from Rachel and Andrea, our guest speakers from two weeks ago.  Examples: Research other communities with this issue, research organizations working on the issue in Durango, visit the organization/people most affected, conduct interviews with various stakeholders, etc…
