I was hoping to have a draft of the EDIS Document ready to present o the lab on Wendesday but I have been stuck on the transition and connecting the content for the past few hours. I am not sure if I should ask the lab for help, or sit down and talk it out with you when you have time on Wednesday. Anyway, I have attached my outline and my current Draft.

Thanks for checking in. Looks like you have a good start. My impression is that you are having difficult transitioning between sections because your directed outcome is still unclear. You have identified a lot of good ideas/components of knowledge that relate to the common theme, but they don't add up to a thesis.

Extension articles MUST identify an audience and influence a behavioral change to be accepted. Perhaps, answering these questions can help motivate some progress in your writing. This (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/wc089) strikes me as a very similar article to what you are trying to accomplish.

My concern right now is that you just revise the Molnar and Jolly 'model' to be relevant to UF Agroecology. There is a whole lot of additional related and relevant information that can be included in the document to make it a really strong message for EDIS. The way I see it, you have nominated yourself to craft the learning model/teaching philosophy for my Extension program. I think this is a great use of your time leading up to preparing the IST and will certainly be a useful resource for the Extension programming part of the workshop.
