** Notes by Kas **
// **P****revious Years...** // When a class turns up: Stage usage (previous yrs):
 * Hallway: only 1 bulletin board (usually used by the MS)
 * In order to get hooks onto walls etc by Mr Lo, we need to contact Anna ASAP!!
 * teacher and co-teacher will take half the class each and observe
 * front ground level - class photos posters, process: finding out, tuning in etc
 * stage - show movies, more posters on curtains and displays

// **For 2010...** // // **Things which must be done before the exhibition:** //
 * // create surveys, questions, feedback sheets for visitors (parents, students etc) //
 * // process poster (each for the Inquiry cycle - description of what's going on) //
 * // have a table with journals, laptop with the Wiki page open //
 * // Mentor photos - at the same time, email a quote about their experience about the exhibition to go on the photo (Kas & Sally) //
 * // projector tunnel - large pieces of materials //
 * Kerry?

I**deas for student roles:**
 * have tour guides to take the classes around (more controlled)
 * meet and greet people
 * process guide - talk through the process G5 went through at the beginning
 * tech people - photographer, video, trouble shooting, TV/virtual presenter
 * passport control people - these people much check the booklets each time they visit a group


 * On the day class procedure ideas: **
 * 1) have a meeting/reception area at the entrance with brief presentation of the exhibition
 * 2) walk through the whole exhibition process on, or in front of the stage [PROBLEM: MS lunch on stage] --  > Alternative: use both G5 classrooms & Library if we can't use the gym???
 * 3) passport control (question books, note taking journals) at the end of the stage - have different booklets per yr group
 * 4) booklet content to be consolidated from info given from each group
 * 5) booklet groupings - EC / PS / MS & HS
 * 6) visit different groups


 * Expectations for the group presentations:**
 * central idea
 * LOI
 * **Action** should be the central part of their display
 * NO's - pretty and irrelevant displays which will be thrown out after the exhibition
