Presentations to Mosaic Partner Chris Cooper

On Thursday, 11 of our students presented their work for our first Mosaic Partner, Chris Cooper, founder of Real Good Writing, a copywriting start-up LLC in Denver.

He asked Mosaic students to create a uniform and appropriate brand for Real Good Writing, including designing a logo and slogan, business cards, invoices, letter heads and website. During this project, Chris met with students several times in the last 6 weeks, starting with an introductory Google Hangout, status update after several weeks and the final presentation. During the presentation, Chris provided oral feedback and questioned each team's decisions and goals.

Each team provided a clear and professional presentation, and Chris was impressed with the quality of the work and with the personal growth in each student from beginning to end.

Each student has been assessed in several English/Language Arts and Art standards in Project Foundry. Some students are still missing one or more writing components, but since Mosaic practices being "time agnostic" and focuses more on skill acquisition and learning, they can still submit that work for feedback and assessment from Michael Schneider.

To complete the project, each student has been asked to complete a self-evaluation in Project Foundry. Once that is complete, each student will receive specific and detailed evaluation and feedback from both Chris and Michael.

Overall, this was a fantastic start to Mosaic's effort to get students to work with and for clients outside the walls of Mosaic and CVHS.
