    Self-Direction

    I think throughout this process, myself and my group have had a pretty strong sense of what direction we wanted our project to go in. We knew throughout the project that our goal was to bring […]

    After reviewing the learning scale for “identifying and pursuing questions”, I would say that I am in the “Got It” category. Through my video, I showed that I can display my research and ideas in an informative […]

    Hi Neva!

    I’m a senior this year and thank you, I appreciate it! You’re a great writer too, in fact I was telling my friend who’s also in this course about some of your work the other day and they were really […]

  • Hi Neva,

    First off, I loved the real-world examples you gave. Do you think the Refugee Family Literacy program is similar to your ideas of helping refugees? Are you interested more in making education or job […]

  • Hello Geoff,

    I really appreciate this comment because when I got it, it really made me think about the things around me that have made the greatest impact on my life and how I could tie that into a social issue. […]

  • Hi Neva,

    I like the way you laid out your mind map because it’s easy to see what your ideas are and how they connect with each other/with the central topic. I think the part on the bottom left corner about […]

    In Simon Sinek’s Ted Talk, he discusses the importance of presenting your ideas through the lense of emotion and values first rather than practicality or logic, also known as the “golden circle”. Whether it be se […]

  • Hi Neva!

    The research that you’ve done is great. I think your idea of starting out by looking at refugees in Vermont is smart and honestly you could help a lot of people even if you just stuck with helping out […]

  • Hi Neva!

    I think your mindset about this process is fantastic. The question you asked (“What can be put in place as a support system in order to encourage the success of New American students in Vermont?”) is […]

    As the prompt has guessed, I am feeling a bit stuck in this process. Hopefully in this post I’ll be able work through the ideas I have one by one to determine whether I should rule them out or hold on to them f […]

    My name is Rachael and as you might already know, I’m your WTS writing partner! This is a great piece to start off the year. I appreciate how you pointed out that this course seems refreshing compared […]

    In an ideal world, picking a social issue to study would be difficult because there would be too few to even choose from. Unfortunately, this is 2017 and there are still more issues to be addressed than there are […]

    I am here because I am interested in being part of a class that is more than book reports and numbered worksheets. I’m not sure what to expect but it’s refreshing to be in a place that I’ve never been to before […]
