Before getting too far with your project, it is important to step back and look more long-term. So, with that in mind, here are some ideas to help each of you accomplish that.


 * Three Big Questions: What three questions, if answered, would make the most difference for your future?
 * For help with asking "Big" questions, see Powerful Questions.
 * When your class mates hear your questions, they should go "Oh, Wow! I Wish I Thought of That!"
 * These questions should be ones that you can find the answer to.
 * Images of Possibility: Describe, in pictures, what your situation would look like if you had the answers to your three questions.
 * Call to Action: You will probably find it easiest to talk about your Call to Action after creating the Three Strategies slides. The Call to Action should talk about the high level action you will take to close the gap between the Three Big Questions and Images of Possibility.
 * Three Strategies: What are the exact three actions that provide the details for the Call to Action?

This is an exercise to stretch your thinking and these are only guidelines. You may want to find others to brainstorm with. For help in brainstorming, check out the first 78 seconds of Pixar's Randy Nelson - Learning and Working in the Collaborative Age. Nelson's two main points are How will you apply these in your brainstorming?
 * "Accept every offer"
 * "Make your partner look good."
