Seniors and their mentor teachers have met four times this year to begin planning and researching for the senior project. The senior project requires students to develop an essential question, complete at least forty hours of work, and present and defend their results based on the ASFG Learning Goals. This largely independent project is motivated by each student's interests. For the first mentor session, students met in the auditorium for an introduction to the Senior Project Website and the mentors. Just like each student, each mentor has different skills and interests. Using a Google Form, students were able to select their mentor and choose their teammates. The Senior Project Website has details about the expectations and timeline for completing a high quality project. During the first meeting with their mentors, students created a blog which they will use to reflect and demonstrate learning throughout the process. See an example blog from a student who completed the project over the summer. We are looking forward to an impressive group of senior projects that benefit the community and demonstrate the ASFG Learning Goals. |
