03.11 - Future Exploration Research

At the beginning of class today, I handed out a question sheet for speakers that will be coming in to speak to our advocacies. The speakers are different people who work for the town in different capacities and will be speaking about the work that they do. These presentations fit well with our work in future exploration so we will be listening for perspectives related to this in addition to the speaker's message. In class, everyone had time to review the questions and then come up with follow-up questions to make sure that we are able to fully appreciate the various aspects of this persons job.

Once everyone had written their questions, we took time as a class to review the questions people came up with together. Everyone should use these question sheets to take notes on the presentations in advocacy today and tomorrow (depending on when your advocacy has a speaker visiting).

The rest of our focus for today was on finding sources that help describe basic elements and the history of activities that people have selected to research. Everyone had the rest of the period to work on finding sources and to record them on their spreadsheet.
