Now that we have a start...
Let's blog it!
On your blog write about:
1. The Essential Question
2. The Challenge Statement
3. Brainstorm: What do you want to accomplish? Spitball ideas - come up with as many as you can! Where do you start? What resources do you need?
4. Make a plan: What are your steps? Goals?
Do we all agree on a topic?
What idea do we want to pursue?
Does this topic lend itself to working in small groups or as a large group together?
Your challenge statement should be a verb and actionable.
It needs to be something YOU can work on right now.
You can "flip" your Essential Question, to create your Challenge Statement.
For example: Improve student health and resilience.
Circle Time!:
How can we make ________ a better place with our photography? (our school, our community, our state, our country, our world, the environment...)
-OR-
Decide on another Big Idea to work on (human rights, drug addiction, violence, identity, voting, resilience...)
Let's build our Essential Question:
To start with...
How does this apply to me? Others?
What does _____ look like?
How might we improve ________ with our photography?
These are just examples/somewhere to start. YOUR group needs to decide on an Essential Question.
Example: How will we build and support social/emotional resilience in our school? (resilience)
