06.03 - Program Investigation and Evaluation (work day)

Everyone had the period today to work on their program investigation and evaluation. At this point, each person should have identified the group/organization's program they want to investigate and be using that group/organization's site and/or related news article about their program to gather information. Resources for this work are located below:


Program Investigation and Evaluation Activity
(directions and worksheet)

Program Investigation Brainstorm
Groups/Organizations that seek to address the problems people have been researching in class.
Everyone should choose one group/organization associated with their problem.
For those unsure which group/organization to choose, I have identified a default/top pick that would be well suited for this investigation

For homework, people should check out the provided list of groups/organizations to investigate (along with any other groups with which they may be familiar) and then select a group/organization whose work interests them and that they would be able to fully investigate.

People may also begin identifying important information about the group/organization and creating notecards. Everyone will have the period tomorrow and Thursday to work on this assignment.
