2. Review reading / watch blog posts
3. Questions about your reporting plan? Moodboards? Share some initial/preliminary hypotheses — By 10/9 you will have spent almost a month looking at your venue. See anything of note so far? Take a risk!

• Timeline — What will be done any when. Keep in mind that the syllabus has cordoned off December 4th as workshop day for your final papers, so I would need a draft to review the week before to be able to provide meaningful feedback.
