SDL Check in and PRESENTATION SIGN UP!

It’s time for an SDL Voyage check in! Please discuss with your child where he/she is in SDL process.  Each student should be working on some of these elements at home, depending on his/her passion and motivation.
Completed:
J Topic has been chosen and the proposal has been written and accepted.
J A fact-based feature article (a.k.a. research paper) has been researched, drafted, edited, revised, and accepted as “ready for magazine.”
J In-school consultants have been identified and the sixth grader wrote an introduction letter.
In process:
 The “DO” started and the progress/steps being documented in some way for publishing in the magazine
 Consultants are being met with to plan/brainstorm additions to the SDL Voyage
 A survey will be planned and executed with the data organized and analyzed for presentation in the magazine
 A glossary of topic specific words is continuing to develop
 Resources will continue to be documented in a bibliography
 Additional feature articles are being researched, drafted, edited, revised, and accepted as “magazine ready”
 “Extra” pages for the magazine (advice, interviews, games, poems, fiction, advertisements…) are being planned and designed
To be started soon:
 Consultant biographies and analysis of their support are being planned and will be written
 Students reflect on the entire process in anticipation of writing a “letter from the editor”
 The magazine cover and table of contents (the last pieces of the magazine to be attached) will be designed to student’s depth of knowledge and passion in content
 The magazine has been bound and is considered “published”
 After reflecting on this SDL Voyage students will plan a presentation for peers and family that will share and celebrate their readiness to move on to the Prewalkabout program
Schedule now, worry later:
PLEASE SIGN UP for a 20 minute time slot for students to make their presentations.  Thanks to those who have already identified their blocks.  Families who have not identified a day/time by April 17 will be assigned a slot (this will allow future Prewalkabout advisors to make adjustments to their schedules so they can attend the presentations).
