First Meeting- Brainstorming

On Wednesday I had my first meeting with Mr. Cole about my keystone project. We brainstormed about the final product and the steps to get there. These are the notes from our meeting.

A)     the list of maps (product) you plan to create – in order of importance (realizing you may not be able to complete all of them in the course of the year)

Types of maps we discussed:

-          Locations of battles/events

-          Locations of the peoples of Middle-Earth (Humans, Hobbits, Dwarves, Elves, etc.)

-          Journey of the Fellowshipe

-          Journey of the ring from creation to destruction

-          ‘Jewish Thought’ map showing acts of lovingkindness, teshuvah, tikkun olam, etc.

B)      a list of the charts/lists of items you need to research for each map (for example, a list of the major events in the books)

Charts we mentioned included:

-          Events

-          ‘owners’ of the ring

-          Major characters

-          Related myths

-          Jewish Thought elements

We set up another meeting for next Wednesday to go over my work-plan.
