Helping 2013

1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

• Dance- She told me that she wanted to get back into it again. She wants to re learn everything and just kept all she learns. She also told me that she had service learning because she has connection to her old dance studio.
• Forensics- This is a career she wants to purse and loves the topic. Her mother knows someone that can help her with her service learning.

Feedback:

·          I told her that’s good you know what you want to do. Most people just have ideas or really don’t want to do it. I also told her that mostly every senior has problems with service learning and finding a great EQ. I told her that to make sure she starts in the summer with all the research and make sure you want to do it. I told her that senior project is your baby and you have to stay on top on your topic.

 (2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  

• She told me that she plans on working at her dance studio with a her dance teacher. She is a lot of expert and owns the studio also has been dancing for a lot time. Even for her second topic she knew what she wanted to do.
• I told her that’s good you know what you want and just to start during the summer with service learning so that you have extra expects. Even though your hours don’t count until after.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

• She told me that she wants to see variety of presentation like different. She hopes that by watching she can get ideas on what she wants to do. Also she wants to see how they are really going to go. She hopes that she can get many ideas or maybe more possible topic to have in mind.  

What suggestions did give them regarding how they should approach watching the 2 hour presentations?  

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  

• I told her that senior is not that hard if you kept on top of your things. When something due make sure you kept on top of it because then you are going to be stress out. You want to make sure that you don’t turn in anything late because then you have to keep on top of that. Also to make sure that you do a lot of research. She wants to have a lot of evidence to back up her best answers. Also it will come in handy when you want to write your I -search paper. It good if you have a lot of experts because then you will know your topic very well and it can help you for your exit interview.
• What is the Two hour presentation?

You have 30 mins to set up and then you presentation but you have a time. You can only talk for 30 mins and you must make the 30 mins. Your 30 mins starts when you talk about your foundation and that’s the 20 mins presentation that you will do. You just wan to make sure that you practice because then you can know your time. You want to hit that thirty min mark so you don’t have to do it over again.

What is the exit Interview?

The teachers interview you and let you know if your three answers are great. You don’t want to have general answer because then it will be bad. They ask you what your product presentation is and why. The product presentation is a skill you developed or important on.

·         I just told her that she wants to get everything approved and stay on top of things.
