Breakout Room Check-in: What did you finally decide on for your research focus? WHY? What has you so interested in this?Food for Thought - EarthWeek Edition: the Importance of looking at global issues from multiple perspectives and considering multiple "stakeholders":
Task #1: Post "Who Has a Seat at the Table" Mind Map to SeeSawAfter you have received feedback from your group, post a picture of your "seat at the table" mind map and list the stakeholders --and the amount of power you think they have -- for your global issue. Task #2: Set up your research document (portfolio); |

Check-in:
Topic Selection - What did you choose & why?
Task #1: Mind-Mapping Your Global Issue
Do not worry if you cannot identify a list of possible supporting examples (case studies for historical or geographic context), or identify specific questions just yet. Hopefully you can identity at least 2 different perspectives that people may have on the issue.
What you are unable to brainstorm and concept map on your own can be discussed within a Breakout Room group during Task #2 -- you'll get a chance to talk to a couple other classmates about your research ideas and they can help you brainstorm.
The goal is to come up with some divergent thinking (a range of different ideas, questions, case studies, possible research directions to go) before you decide on what specifically you will research.
Task #2: Peer Ideation (in Breakout Rooms)
Task #3: Post Your Mind Map to SeeSaw
Try to join the call a couple minutes early so that everyone can enter on time.
If you arrive late to the meeting, you'll have to wait in the waiting room if we've already begun the daily check-in as I won't be able to see late joiners while in ScreenCast mode.
