For+Thursday+May+14th

**__ Hi Girls! __**  Great to see all the hard work and research you're putting into the exhibition! I’m really impressed at your dedication and excitement towards the project ! Because we meet so late in the week, I want to give you some ‘heads up’ (pointers) so that you don’t lose too much time. I don’t want to any of you to feel overwhelmed or scared if you don’t understand or you’re not sure of the following comments- DON’T WORRY, we will go over all of it on Thursday, but it would be good to see what you can understand and create for Thursday from the information that you’ve gathered.  So, now that you've found tons of information let’s see what we can do with it !

 **__ First, __** Let's remember the transdisciplinary theme for the exhibition: **__ Sharing the Planet: __** An inquiry into rights and responsibilities in the struggle to share finite resources with other people and with other living things; communities and the relationships within and between them; equal access to equal opportunities; peace and conflict resolution. ** Let’s make sure that we are focusing your research on unemployment under that lens, your exhibition must relate the ideas expressed there. **

 **__ Second __** ** Consider how you see yourself presenting your final work **. Let yourself think outside the box: be creative. You can use several different mediums to express your project, think of everything you’ve learned in art, drama, dance and ICT as well as the more traditional ways.

 ** Third ** Think of ways that you can answer/ research the following key question on your topic:  1.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> What is it like?
