Three Adolescent Pigs Global economic recession Relative salaries on the decline Largest inflation in history Piglets turned to the street to fend for themselves Pigs learn rhyme & rhythms from local rappers and street poets Publishers steal their tunes for lucrative book deals cutting the authors out of the mix

Three Adolescent Pigs Cholesterol levels increase by 38.2% for eating 1 pig as compared to a non-pork, low fat diet for middle-aged, wild wolves ages 6-7 Second pig compounds cholesterol levels to 162.3% of the recommended levels increasing the likelihood of a cardiac-related event by 22.5% in the first 9 months after consumption Consumption of 3 pigs within 3 months increases the probability of a cardiac- related event to 85% for wild wolves ages 6-7 and up to 98.9% for wild wolves younger than age 6 Likelihood of a fatal event occurring when climbing down the chimney is 43.2% Probability of finding another pig alone in the forest in the next 4 weeks before the effects of starvation set in 2.6% To Do: Focus first on pigs with straw and then stick homes. Once supplies have been sufficiently depleted, climb down the chimney of the brick home. To increase the likelihood of success, we recommend you obtain the $299.95 rappelling gear set reducing the mortality rate to only 3.2%.

Brainstorming & Discovery Brainstorming & Discovery with Post-it® Notes

What We’re Going to Do 1. Using Post-It® Notes 2. Idea Generation 3. Idea Organizing

Brainstorming Rules Courtesy Nancy Duarte, slide:ology

Generating Ideas, Part 1 First, write a good objective/problem statement/goal, then: As an Individual Goal: One Word No Generate or Talking Statement A Lot

Generating Ideas, Part 2 Read each 4-6 & place People on board Add any Ask only new ideas clari ying f questions (Building off others )

Organizing Ideas Sorting Grouping Top Bottom Info Process Others Down Up Map Map

Sorting Use: Prioritizing or Ranking As a • Continue the previous group overall objective Use criteria Combine Combine Notes Combine Notes Notes Put in order

Grouping: Top Down Use: Breaking a problem down into it’s parts Use previous objective Node Add Right Right All need lines parent? siblings ? siblings ? more last detail?

Grouping: Bottom Up Use: Organizing items into a whole • Continue the previous objective 3. Add titles to the groups 2. Place 1. Add 4-5 notes in Columns to groups The board

Grouping: Information Map Use: Showing complex relationships • Continue the previous objective • Arrows: causes, made of, leads to, yields, labeled, etc.

Grouping: Process Map Use: Showing order • Continue the previous objective • Start with the beginning or what’s known Start End
