Q: What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
A: I am thinking about doing either classical, Brazilian, or flamenco guitar.
R: My only recommendation for you is to make sure you pick the one that will give you the most research throughout the senior project.
Q: 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? Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.
A: During the summer I am going to be volunteering at a place called Pasadena Conservatory of Music.
R: I suggest that you try to get more than 10 hours done if you can, other than that it sounds like a solid service learning place.
Q: What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
A: I expect to hear a good thesis, and I want to be surprised with their knowledge. I want them to show that they have good knowledge.
R: Just be respectful of the person presenting because it is nerve racking for the senior that is up there.
Q: 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.
A: What are the answers? And how do you present?
R: Answers come later on in your senior project after you have done research and you have your essential question set, they are really just answering the question you set for yourself. Presenting is just like regular presenting, you have a talking time and you need to speak up and be confident. Besides that just make sure you have research and you should be set.

Q: What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
A: My idea is maybe something to do with writing or working with a newspaper.
R: Try to focus your topic and make sure that you will be able to get research because honestly you do it all year.
Q: 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? Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.
A: I was talking to Purther and he suggested working with my local newspaper, or working up at the Cal Poly Newspaper.
R: I suggest that you try to get more than 10 hours done if you can. Both things sound like good learning experiences just make sure you decide which one you are going to do.
Q: What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
A: I expect to see something that I can build off of you use to help me in my senior project.
R: Just be respectful of the person presenting because it can be scary and nerve racking to be up there presenting for any period of time.
Q: 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.
A: I don't really know what it is.
R: Really it is just a means to make life after high school less scary. All though senior year you focus on a topic that you can very well end up studying in college. It is a research process, you go through answering questions, presenting the answers that you have, doing independent components, and service learning. You work all year and hopefully end up with a focus for when you leave high school. Now all you have to do is get a focus and I think you should be set.

Q: What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
A: I want to do teaching history to 8th graders because I am a history nerd.
R: That is really specific, I like it. I don't really have any feedback for you other than it seems like a solid topic and I like that it is focused.
Q: 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? Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.
A: I am going to go back to my old school and service learn there.
R: My only suggestion for you is to try to get more than 10 hours done if you can.
Q: What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?
A: I expect to see hands on interaction, not just them presenting at us.
R: We have activities that we do to go along with our answers so there will be some hands on things. Make sure you are respectful to the person presenting because talking for a 30 minutes and presenting/being up there for a minimum of another 30 can be scary.
Q: 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.
A: I'm scared, what exactly are the components that you do? How would I do a science project?
R: We have a variety of components. One of them is research which you do all year long, then there are presentations like answer presentations and 20 minute, which is a smaller version of 2 hour, 2 hour and some others in between. You have service learning and 2 independent components that are 30 hours each, science fair, and them some other things that go along with research like towers and things like that. Honestly it isn't that scary it is just a lot of work, but it seems worth it now towards the end. Don't be worried about science fair, you could do something with lesson plans or how people retain information, it wont be bad. Don't go into it thinking the worst, everything works out for the best as long as you work.
