WEEK ONE
Day 1- Jan 23:
1. Square Inch Archaeology and Artifact Analysis
- mapping your project, what are you tackling?
- everything you find is an artifact- valuable
- what YOU have to say about your findings, HOW you analyze
2. SYP= X, Y, & Z "mo' meta is mo' betta or dig deeper"
- thinking beyond- meta cognition= thinking about thinking
- interpreting the information, could be used based on hypothesis
3. Mapping/ tools to dig with
- field work and paper
- what's the balance? what is the FOCUS?
- in between stuff: interviews, reading, books, articles, web, primary sources, videos, experiments, polls, constructing ideas, maintaining motivation, KEEPING AN OPEN MIND --> could find something that you were not looking for, but will be useful in finding the pin point of your project, so take everything as something valuable.
My Map:
goal: finding better teaching techniques for the classroom to allow for better information retention (for all learning styles), create an online database/ site/ blog where people can share their experiences about teaching and how students feel about the value of their education and how it can be valuable in the future world, how is their foundation built?, an interactive place where teachers and students can share their honest thoughts on what students feel they need, and a place where teachers can explain how their teaching is effective, or what not. create a survey/poll/assessment, give it to teachers and students to reflect honestly and seriously to their education thus far. EDUCATION RENOVATION.
tools: this open interactive place, interviews with teachers, psychologists, college professors, AP teachers
on the side: how to make classroom better for autism/ asperger's, interviews with special ed teachers, experiments
paper: Editorial style: DIAGNOSTIC TESTING REQUIREMENTS TO BUILD ON STUDENTS STRENGTHS SO THEY LEARN BEST IN THEIR WAYS WITH THEIR LEARNED TECHNIQUES. --> interview people that have done diagnostic testing and see how it has helped them, etc
Who I want to interview: Richard Barton, Andi Weiss, Joel G, psych students at Northeastern
Day 2- Jan 24:
Jen Price:
- figured our logistics of how requirements work
- feeling: nervous on how I will pull this project off
- what if I never get satisfied
- what if I never find what I am looking for
- what am I looking for exactly?
Day 3- Jan 25:
Overwhelmed:
- MUST UPDATE EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME, AS YOU FIND IT
- PURPOSE SCOPE PURPOSE SCOPE PURPOSE
- every red flag = 1 week in fourth term
- everything in red is due the THURSDAY of that week
- WORK YOUR ASS OFF
- NO DAYS OFF
- must start finding stuff, even if you do not know what you are looking for
- need sizable chunk of artifacts by THURSDAY OF WEEK THREE --> find your bigger idea
- try to pinpoint what you want to do
- just search for stuff and what intrigues you might get you to what you want to do
- IRT = initial research topic- on something rando, and do detailed prezie after two weeks - practice mini SYP
- cannot regurgitate info- what do YOU have to say about it, make connections to other stuff, make YOUR FINDINGS POWERFUL
- could be loosely linked: pomegranite = unity, christianity as a whole, bringing the importance of ______
- what role does environment play in learning?
- how to get your brain in a place to begin building a network of nuerons
- artifact: africa incubators are breaking down and can't be fixed
- analysis: what if incubator was made of car parts?
- reflection: how did this idea happen? (connecting to greater picture of environment of learning)

|
---> look at science researchers --> conference table to make ideas --> Darwin's journals proving that you do not always just have a Eureka moment, the slow hunch
***FIND STUFF TO CONNECT TO OTHER STUFF TO MAKE YOUR ANALYZING BETTER AND STRONGER***
Day 4- Jan 26:
Mantra: SHOW DON'T TELL
Ted Talk Continued...
- slow hunch vs. epiphany/Eureka
- connecting ideas vs. protecting them
- "chance favors the connected mind" = SHARE YOUR INFO WITH OTHERS AND THEY MAY BE ABLE TO HELP
- ex. slow hunch --> cold war technology --> GPS emergence
SYP Logistics:
- We are the sickest jugglers that there could possibly be. We have swords, fire, and can perform flips
- Then, there are the beanbag jugglers
- We juggle next to them and completely outshine them
- side note: we are allowed to steal scholars findings. they are resources to us now. we can use their sources as well. stuff is available to US
- knowledge of fear:
- if you are ill-informed and irrational >> THIS IS A BAD FEAR
- your work and fear of your work should be informed (be aware of it) and rational (stop flipping out)
- my fear: my end, my portrayal and analysis of my findings, if im not creative enough, if no one is amused or touched or amazed or intrigued by my project, how i will link everything together, what will it do>> any impact?
WEEK TWO
Day 1- Jan 30:
Plus Delta- blog should be the BEST presentation of your work --> honest portfolio
- should be fluid, constantly changing, honest, way of showing progress
- out your sources everywhere, makes blog look informative + professional
- Here are some fabulous wikis that show fabulous aspects of a good blog:
- www.naturebug.wikispaces.com on nature deficit disorder
- www.energizedart.wikispaces.com on environmental art
- www.rosiemcinnes.wikispaces.com on oral histories; New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina
Day 2- Jan 31
TO do:
- put link on blog to get back to SYP main page
- make wiki protected vs public
- timeline: make calendar and post on blog
- inspiration postL my rant/proposal
- field work post- write what will be here if not there yet
plus delta- for every 2 +, there should be 1 delta
what's the lesson- find both in everything you look at
~we will give on IRT presentation
~FEEDBACK IS VERY PRODUCTIVE
Day 3- Feb 1
- trick out wiki
Day 4- Feb 2
- start presenting wikis
WEEK THREE
- GATHER ARTIFACTS THAT REFLECT THREE WEEKS OF TRUE WORK AND BEGIN ANALYZING!
Day 1- Feb 6
- wiki presentation
Day 2- Feb 7
- Absent: did more research
Day 3- Feb 8
- Did more on doing the annotated bibliography.- helps organize/file your information, helps you analyze what you find VS. mushy amount of stuff that you would talk about, but not make sense of
- allows for Hansel and Gretel style research: people behind you can use YOUR research as you use OTHER PEOPLE'S research
- Summary, Assess/Analyze, Reflect -> how does this piece of research/info fit with your topic
Day 4- Feb 9
- met with Chinosi
- IRT assigned
WEEK FOUR
Day 1- Feb 13
- IRT week
Day 2- Feb 14
- presented IRT
- plus deltas
Day 3- Feb 15
- finished up IRT presentations- did plus deltas
- receiving plus deltas was very helpful
- friendly kick in the ass showing us what we need to improve on
Day 4- Feb 16
- making plan for the break: making distinctive goals for each day prepping for the lit review, improve annotations, really analyze the things that I am coming across
WEEK FIVE- Feb Break
Overview: Read plenty of Gladwell. Interviewed seasoned 6th grade history teacher from Lincoln School in Brookline as well as a retired teacher. They had very interesting thoughts on the problems of the school system. Allowed me to change the focus of my project...yet again. Watched Waiting for Superman, confirming my new focus and scope of the project. I figure that if I want to fix classrooms, I have to look at the big picture and see why classrooms aren't set up for success. The movie helped me connect the jumbled things that I have been looking at-- seeing the beginnings of some serious analyzations.
WEEK SIX
Day 1- Feb 27
- LIT REVIEW: time to perform, there will be lots of practice in between but it's time to play and win.
- http://nnhssyp.wikispaces.com/Lit+Review
- Essay format FORMAL
- primary source--> primary research
- controlling the idea or thesis; working towards the finalized Big Three
- may repeat a profound source if it keeps popping up, it's okay to have
- need to do a bib for every single thing that you have done-- MLA
- your writing dictates the style of the bibliography
- lit review focuses on sources, future paper focuses on YOUR research stemming from the soures--- totally unique body of work later, no one else has YOUR answers
Day 2- Feb 28
- literally freaking out about the Lit Review
- check out my Journal Reflection Dump to see what's on my mind
Day 3- Feb 29 (leap)
