Dear Class
Great job working through today's exercise to begin brainstorming your ideas for individual development! For homework, complete your brainstorming ideas and create at least 3 thought map clusters. We will review this work on Tuesday of next week. See details below.

Brainstorming Potential Ideas for Topic
Due: Thursday, March 8th
Format: Logbook Homework section

Come up with 3 potential ideas, topics, prompts or themes you are interested in pursuing for the semester. Write these 3 potential ideas, topics, prompts or themes on a page in your logbook. If you find yourself at a loss for ideas, look through some of your answers from the self-investigation exercise (c11_a3) and pick topics from there to work with. 

Next, pick and focus on 1 of the 3 potential ideas you have identified and come up with a combination of one hundred words, phrases, and/or images that expand your original idea, topic, prompt, or theme like we did in the brainstorming activity and techniques from class [original sheet in _Course Resources folder]. Use sticky notes when doing this on your own (so you have the ability to hang these up later) for each word, phrase or image you come up with. Images for your brainstorm can be drawn, cut out from other sources, or photocopies. Take this 100 word/phrase/image sticky note collection and put what you don't use for the second part of this assignment into a clear plastic baggie to be stored in the large binder folder in your logbook. Label the baggie as: c13_a1

Create (3) Thought Clusters
Due: Thursday, March 8th
Format: Logbook Homework section + Add to Google Drive Folder

Spread all your brainstorming sticky notes out so that you can see everything at once. Look at all the words, phrases, and images you have brainstormed from the previous part of the assignment. Pick items on sticky notes that resonate with you. Use these to create at least 3 thought clusters [I created about 4 in class]. Use a wall or door to put these clusters up.

transferring clusters into your logbook

Student Example

Transfer the clusters you develop into your logbook. You will use one page to record one cluster. In all you will have 3 separate clusters in the Logbook Homework section of your book with this homework's number and title as a heading in the top left corner. If you are using a wall or door of your room to make mapping clusters, take a clear photo of said cluster and print it to put into your logbook. At the bottom of each cluster page, write a synthesis of how you are thinking about what you have placed there. 

After you made and transferred at least three thought clusters and wrote a short synthesis at the bottom of the page for each (one per page), photograph each cluster/page as image files. Make sure the writing is legible and visual is clear. Combine your image files as a single multipage PDF (you will have 3 pages total) with the naming convention:

include in the google drive folder c13_a2 Thought Clusters:
