Friday, May 3 Agenda 1. Brainstorm ideas for the PSA slogan. (Ex. Last semester’s winning slogan was “It starts with you, Central”)
 * Submit your slogan via the Google form located on my wiki page.

2. Determine the role each person will take in the group--keep in mind all that must be accomplished by May 17 and logistically when each step needs to be finished – for example, your PSA script needs to be written in the next few days because the flip cams and green screen are only available until next Friday (May 11).

3. Work as a group to plan out your vision for you website, the Centralpedia page and your store. You should all be in agreement on your slogan for the store items and the same slogan should appear on all items. 4. Everyone in your group needs to visit the Centralpedia site and request permission to join the site. This will enable you to add a page for your entry once Mrs. Turner, Mrs. Lucia, or I accepts your request.


 * *You will record all of this information on the Google doc already set up in your groups, or you can handwrite it or record it in a Word doc. Regardless, please print your plan of action and place it in your group's folder, or make sure it is clearly written inside your folder. **

Group Meetings on Google Docs: Thursday, April 26 and Tuesday, May 1 Directions: Below you will see the list of topics/questions that you are to discuss with your phase III partners. All discussion will take place through a Google Doc. Each person should type his/her responses in a different color. Please put your name at the top of the Google doc in the color in which you will be typing. We have identified for you which teacher you will be working with for phase III, so you need to make sure you share the Google Doc with that teacher so you can receive credit for these assignments. Remember that the teacher will be part of your chat as well so you need to stay focused on the topics listed below.

The teachers have identified one person in each group who is responsible for creating and sharing the Google Doc (the first person in that block). If you are that person, make sure you share the document with each person in your group as well as the teacher in whose room you will be working (this is not necessarily your regular 21st Century teacher). Please make sure you type in the addresses of your partners and your teacher correctly.

Mrs. Detwiler: bdetwiler@cypanthers.org (share with me if your name is in a yellow block) Mrs. Lucia: klucia@cypanthers.org (share with me if your name is in a bluish/gray block) Mrs. Turner: lturner@cypanthers.org (share with me if your name is in a pink block)


 * Day 1: Thursday, April 26**


 * 1) Introduce yourself to your partners
 * 2) Tell you partners who your regular 21st Century teacher is
 * 3) Discuss the social issue you selected with your partner and explain why you selected the topic (in some groups you may all have the same topic and in some groups you may all have different, but related, topics)
 * 4) Discuss some of your successes and struggles with the research portion of your project—be sure to identify the solutions you researched as well
 * 5) Share with your partners which project option you selected (each teacher had a few of the same and a few different project options so don’t assume your partners will know what you are talking about if you just say “option #2”)


 * Day 2: Tuesday, May 1**


 * 1) What are your hopes for phase III of the social issues project (i.e. what do you hope to accomplish by coming together with other people who had the same or similar topics)?
 * 2) What are your expectations for group work? This is the time to share with your partners your expectations for working together over the next two weeks.
