It's Senior Project Time!

It’s my favorite time of the year: it's Senior Project Time!  

The project is broken down into multiple components: Annotated Bibliography, Research Essay, Digital Presentation and Presentation Board, In-Class Presentation, and Presentation Fair.  All due dates and work days are listed on the assignment calendar already, to help you as you work.  Remember that I take due dates and deadlines very seriously, so it is important that you keep track of what is due when and plan accordingly.

On the right side of the page is a set of Senior Project links, including: 

• a list of topics chosen by my students
• a detailed overview of the ENTIRE project
• the letter that was sent home about the Senior Project
• a checklist/due date list with everything you are expected to do, with point values for all assignments
• the late work cover sheet that is required to be included with anything turned in after due dates
• folders of information and handouts specific to the Annotated Bibliography, Research Essay, and Presentations

Many of the materials included here will be given out in class, but you are responsible for making sure you have everything you need, so these links and folders are to help you as you work.  If you plan on using any of the templates provided here as a basis for your work, you will need to make a copy before you can make any edits.

Once you create your Annotated Bibliography, Outline, Research Essay, and Digital Presentation, you will share each of these with me for points.  Before you do, you will need to name your documents using the following format: Last name Hour Item.  So, my annotated bibliography would be called "Shier 2 Annotated Bibliography."  My essay would be "Shier 2 Research Essay."  My presentation would be "Shier 2 Media Presentation."  Points will be lost for misnamed files.

I know this seems like a lot of work, and it is, but I'll be working with you every step of the way, and I have absolute faith that you can do this.  Good luck and DON’T PANIC!!!
