Graduation+Project


 * This coming school year will be a BIG change for me within my teaching career. I will be working with juniors and seniors on their graduation projects.**

The graduation project involves the following components: 1. Product-Do or make something that is in line with your topic. 2. Presentation-10 minute minimum presentation of your topic. 3. Visual Aid-Some type of visual representation of your topic, must be different than your product 4. Journal-30 entry minimum of detailed information regarding the process

//Students may choose any topic that they wish as long as it is pre-approved. Students are strongly encouraged to create their project on their future career.//

For more information regarding the graduation project, please visit [|Graduation Project Scoring Guidelines].


 * As a teacher of this course I will encourage my students to use the following resources.**


 * Online research through Diigo-[|My diigo account]
 * Create a voicethread for a visual aid or product-[|One of my Voicethreads]
 * Create a Photostory for visual aid or product
 * Use MovieMaker for visual aid or product

//The process is as important as the product. In order for the entire process to be recorded fully and with detail a blog is an excellent way to go. This will ensure that the process is being recorded daily and will make it more interactive for students to share their work. All students will have computer and internet access every other day in the classroom; it is not necessary to have a computer at home.//
 * As a teacher of this course I will REQUIRE my students to use one of the following blogging resources for their journal.**
 * **Blogspot-[|One of my blogs]**
 * **Blogger**
 * **Wordpress**
 * **Wikispaces**
 * **Other Blog Site**
