Thank you 😀
Narrowing it down shouldn’t be too difficult, it’s just what to narrow it down for and why that’ll be a trying task.

Thanks! I think what I’m going to do about narrowing my topic is to pitch my topic first, so like encompass everything about my topic I’m most interested in, and then state that nutrition can be linked to all […]

Petra,
Nice rough draft of your pitch!
I noticed that you never quite defined the opioid epidemic in Vermont. Although by now you are an expert and I have learned quite a bit from reading your posts, and while […]

Shel,

You bring up a fantastic point with the regulations and protocols, one that I hadn’t thought of enough. It’s true that we need a concrete and constant way of approving projects such as pipelines, and I’ve […]

Hi Emily,

Thank you for your thoughtful comment! I was wondering if you had any opinions on which specific slides or ideas I should cut back on in the slide show. While looking it over today it was hard for me to […]

Erik,

Hi Emily,

While writing my latest post I kept in mind that elaborating on certain things is important in getting my point across, for example I found an explanation for the increase in Lyme disease carrying […]

Hi Ceci,

The action I plan to take is still in the process of creation. The slide show I’ve just created (and posted) is really my first step toward taking action. Once I finish the process of turning this […]

Erik,

Thank you! My goal was that the combination of the dotted lines and the color coding would help me find the connections between different areas of the topics. I got to see that change and conflict are […]

Thank you, Petra! I’m glad you liked it.
I’ve decided that this is what I want to present at the retreat. Obviously, I have a lot of thoughts about it and a lot of directions I can take it in, so I want to at […]

Petra,
Really nice work on your mind map! It was detailed and gave me a good insight into your thoughts on the issue–I hope it is helping you work through them, too.
I noticed that you talked a lot about kids […]

Erin,
Nice job! I noticed right away that your first split leads you to two possible ways to go at this option: Human connection (“youth connecting with youth”) or problem solving (“awareness or change of […]

Maddie,
Hi, I’m Greta, and I’m a junior at Middlebury Union High School. Your mind map popped out at me while I was scrolling through the blog! It is incredibly organized and in a really unique way. I agree with […]

Bob,
Thank you! I guess my mind needed mapping 🙂
