( f-1/20) Student Presentations: “Stocking the Bank” & “Opportunities I see”

The decisions you make today  will stay with you until Spring Break, so make good ones.  
I will place sign up sheets on my desk.

To make this an orderly process:

First (at 1:30 pm)"Stocking the Bank" research, There are 22 relevant topics listed at the end of the problem statement. Individuals are to pick a topic they are interested and feel comfortable addressing, and sign-up to present information on one of that topic. (have a back up or two in mind if someone els picks "yours")

Second (also at 1:30 pm) if individuals want to submit additional Crop/Site proposals adding to the eight I have prepared, I will review and approve them while the "stocking research signup" is taking place  

Third (at 2:00 pm) I will post the Crops/Sites List  you will see that there are two name slots for each site and a Y or N  slot (answering the question …  Is this a team? (AGAIN have a back up or two in mind if someone els picks "yours")

Wednesday is a work day where another concept is added… "Opportunities I see" ...  You have been stocking the bank, you have a crop and site, you have studied the problem statement and although you've not actually started to design you at least have thought about it.  The "Opportunities I see"  exercise …  gives you a chance to express those early thoughts through any means .. song, dance, poetry, prose,  images (this is still an individual effort).

Finally on Friday 1/20 ...Student Presentations: “Stocking the Bank” & “Opportunities I see” … will happen in a space with a digital projector. The problem statements  suggests a PowerPoint presentation . Please designate a single studio laptop for the purpose of preloading all of the presentations prior to the event there are only 180 min for 170 min of prevention (10 min per student) so make this work with smooth transitions prior to the event.
