Please go to your regular FLEX today. FPS will meet on Tuesday to review scores.
Don't forget to keep working. Anyone who needs to work in the computer lab (619) on Wednesday should pop in!
Please remember that if you are going to be more than 2 minutes late to PRISM, you need a pass from your teacher to enter the room. If you consistently arrive late to PRISM, or are absent from your research days, you should consider revolving out this year or changing your research track to something that you are more interested in for the remainder of the year.
Find your motivation. If it is not there for PRISM this year, that is OK. You have to pursue your passions!
Find your motivation. If it is not there for PRISM this year, that is OK. You have to pursue your passions!
By popular demand, you will have your own spaces. The PRISM page will be for random, positive quotes and generic questions for all PRISM students. Join only the group you are actually a part of and remember to keep your posts academically-focused, appropriate, and engaging.
Please complete this reflection journal each month. Do not erase your previous entries. Just keep adding to the document so we can review your progress during conferences. You will be able to log back in each month and update your entry.

This week you will explore the history of processed foods and food additives in order to better understand the future of food for Practice Problem #2.
Make sure you join our DIIGO group NOW! You will have access to a variety of articles and resources to help you with the issue of Processed Foods.
Explore the history of processed foods first to help you answer the essential question - How and why do we process foods?
http://nchfp.uga.edu/publications/nchfp/factsheets/food_pres_hist.html
http://www.partselect.com/JustForFun/Food-Preservation-Basics.aspx
Take a look at the common additives found in our food through the following resources and answer these three essential questions with your team through a chart:
What are the ten common additives we consume?
What is the function of each additive?
How does the additive impact human health?

In a highly digital, rapidly changing world, you need to be aware of tools that will help you collaborate and share your expertise. In our flipped environment, we are currently using Edmodo, Diigo, and Google Drive. These tools allow you to collaborate with your peers, get and give immediate feedback even when you are not in room 814, and help you grow as a self-directed learner. You are already ahead of the learning curve by nature of your birth. You, my friends, are digital natives and with great powers, come great responsibilities. My expectation is that you will log in and contribute to our Edmodo group in the following ways:
1. Respond to at least two posts a week using academically appropriate language and demonstrate analysis of others’ posts. Your response should extend the discussion by building on previous
posts. As often as possible, you should cite a reference to back up your post.
2. Post questions for your peers at least one time every other week regarding information you are finding interesting, curious, or the like. Your goal is to engage the community with your post. More engaging posts typically include a video, a link to a thought-provoking article, an image related to a topic your are researching.
Examples of postings that demonstrate higher levels of thinking:
• “Some common themes I see between your experiences and (a specific reference for your research) are….” (Analysis)
• “These newer trends are significant if we consider the relationship between ….” (Synthesis)
• “The body of literature should be assessed by these standards ….” (Evaluation)
I also expect our NHD and FPS students to join Diigo and save at least one article per week to their respective group in order to build the our group database of articles on the related topics. Save the articles under your group. You can even start your own sub group for your research team to share articles specific to your research track. Diigo is an awesome tool for researchers!
https://groups.diigo.com/group/cmsfps
https://groups.diigo.com/group/cmsnhd
As PRISM students, I am looking for you to fall into the "meets" or "exceeds" standards for the project rubric. Please review it and talk to me if you have any questions.

When you’ve got a big house to decorate for the holidays, advanced planning is wise. So naturally, the White House is already thinking about this year’s holiday decor, and we're going to help them deck their halls. Instructables is excited to partner with the Smithsonian and the White House in this 3D Printed Ornament Challenge. Some of the winners of this challenge will have their work printed and hung in the East Wing of the White House during the holiday season. Additionally, those selected to be displayed at the White House will be featured on the Smithsonian’s state of the art 3D data platform, 3d.si.edu and will join a small collection of White House ornaments in the political history division of the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
You don’t need to have a 3D printer to participate — design an ornament with any 3D modeling software and up to 8 winning designs will be 3D printed and shipped to the White House for you. New to 3D modeling? No sweat! Head over to Tinkercad and play around with making 3-dimensional shapes. It’s really fun, and you’ll learn an awesome new skill, to boot. This is your chance to make White House history and have your art featured in their first-ever maker challenge.
The model should be no larger than 3”x 3” and reflect the magic and wonder of the holidays, so think ornaments that represent winter sports, toys, activities, symbols, and anything that inspires you during the festive winter season. Want to incorporate a little twinkle to your designs as well? Design a piece that fits or clips onto a string of lights!
To qualify, you must be a U.S. resident and create an Instructable for your ornament — and be sure to include the .stl file.

As you research the topic, add your resources to our Diigo list for processed foods. Apply to join the group and you will be added to use our crowd-sourced resources!
Questions to consider: How have the ways we produce food changed? What is processed food? What are examples of processed foods?
What are some of the pros and cons of processed foods?
How will our food change as the needs of humans change?
