Helping 2013

(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
        Saul A.-Well my senior project is Firefighters.
        Me -Oh that's cool, I don't think we have that one this year, so where do you plan on doing on your senior project?
        Saul A.- Well actually I don't know, I don't really know about senior project/
        Me -Oh ok so do you want me to tell you about Senior Project?
        Saul A.- Yea
        Me -Ok so basically Senior Project is a nine month project, where you work on it from September to around October, then you go into Model Assembly and you return to Senior Project around December/January. During those nine months you are mainly researching, presenting and creating your Essential Question and three answers. For me my essential question is knowing about the most important thing in the diagnosis of a disease, so one of my answers is symptoms. You do a few presentations on your answers and your foundation. You have research checks and those depend on the teacher. If you are on top of everything, then you should be fine.

(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?
         Saul A.- I already have somewhere to do my hours, I plan on doing them at Explorer.
         Me - Oh so where are you going to do that?
         Saul A- Oh, I still need to call some places and figure that out.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
       Saul- Well, now nothing much, I guess how much talking you have to do, and what there is in a 2 hour presentation.
       Me- Ok, so in your two hour, it consists of you talking for at least 30 minutes, the rest of the 2 hours, you fill in with your answers, activities foundations, conclusions and your introduction. Actually you don't even need to speak for 2 hours I think the minimum is an hours and thirty minutes.

(4) What questions do they have about senior project?  What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project?  Be specific and note what you told them.
    Saul actually didn't have anymore questions after that, and I told him to keep on top of things and everything should be fine. If he needed anything or had any questions that popped up, he could message me anytime.
