Zachariah,

The picture you took of your pond is beautiful! You seem to have the ability to capture the essence of a moment in a still. Do you think there are opportunities to “capture” running water near the […]

Zachariah,

I do think that locating people within your locality is important, great job identifying senators and organizations in your/our area. Bryce seems to have access to people and places in Chittenden […]

Bryce,

Thanks for getting your post up! The list of potential interviewees makes sense, as you note many of them have Lake Champlain in their title. I do wonder as I reflect on this list and potential […]

Brynna,

I think your exploration to the other side of Lake Champlain will provide greater understanding VT’s efforts. What VT’s neighbors are doing will certainly have an impact on the VT side. So, how do you […]

Sidney,

I think that you do have a topic that connects to everyone. As you consider refining your pitch, I wonder if you might ask a few questions, play a short clip, or provide a few statistics about drug […]

Emily,

Great work putting together your refined pitch! I really think that you have a wonderful topic that could lead to real change. My only comments are setting the stage, to engage the audience during your […]

Sidney,

Nice work picking a topic for your presentation! It seems like a huge decision to find a single topic to focus on, when as you noted, there is a ton out there to speak about. As I was reading your […]

Emily,

Great job putting your ideas together for your presentation! As I was reviewing your slides, and the narrative, I was looking for the “stakes” and why your “inquiry” is not only interesting but […]

Emily,

As you look at the “stakes” I wonder what statistics there are to support your position? I would imagine there are a number of students who are not even “successful” in high school and perhaps become […]

Sidney,

The importance of your topic is clear. It would be super to include, something that Tim mentioned in the ideas for “branches” of the Mind Map, support for “the stakes?” I know there are a number of […]

Sidney,

Sorry we didn’t see you on Saturday! A portion of the day was brainstorming/collaborating with those who might have similar topics/ideas. I had an interesting talk with a “group” where addiction was a […]

Emily,

I hope that the ride to Mt. Philo was bearable given the messiness of my car!

Along with knowledge, which is great to recognize, how do you think motivation to fulfill a human need moves people to […]

Sidney,

I keep coming back to your statement, “I want the person I grew up knowing not the person I grew up to know.” The knowing, growing, and know are prominent in the statement and cause me to consider how […]

Emily!

Your effort to find a story mentioning “toaster-brained” and “hair dryer brains” allows readers to experience the “why” your topic is important to you. The creation of experiences through sto […]

Emily,

I am still thinking through your topic! If you recognize a social issue, and it seems that you do, what are the parts of “individualized” and “learning?” I know you understand the words, and can easily […]

I wondered if you might develop an interest in learning and the different forms it can take with the individual at the center. I can’t wait to see your idea develop!

Casey

Emily,

As Courtney noted, the title of your post represents the salient part of your interview. As I read your post my reflection is that individuals are forced to conform to the expectations of “education.” Is […]

Sidney,

I like that you are still processing through topics, and I also enjoy the title that you gave this post. I like these aspects because taking more time to determine if there is something present through […]

Emily,

I teach social studies at MUHS. I am not sure if we have crossed paths very often, but I will keep a look out for you as I make my way through the halls. Mental illness is certainly a topic of great […]

Sidney,

I was the mentor-teacher sitting next to you on Friday at MC. As I said during my introduction, I teach social studies at Middlebury Union High School. I think it is super to be undecided about what […]
