Senior Project - Week of April 30

This week's goals:
Complete four more pages of your rough draft. You should have a total of seven double-spaced pages by Friday, May 4.
Complete your storyboard for your presentation by Monday, May 7.

Remember: there are no late grades available from this point onward, so turn things in on the due date. If leaving materials at home is a problem, save everything to your google docs account.

If you need help on your rough draft or presentation, please see me in class, during B or D period, or after school so I can help to keep you on track.

Senior Project - Week of April 23

This week's goal: 3 pages completed of your rough draft

You'll be turning your rough drafts and final copy in through google docs. If you don't have an account, you can sign up for one in class. If you have one already, and you haven't yet linked it to your noodle tools, now is the time to do that.

We'll be working on our rough draft this week, partly in class and partly as homework. Mrs. Distasio and her intern, Mr. Hallwood, will spend a few days with you in the library showing you how to set up your presentation, which is something you can start thinking about now, even though we won't be working on it for a few more weeks.

Senior Project - Week of April 9

This week's goal: 
Complete your outline

Be sure to check your "Organizing Your Senior Project" sheet, which will give you an overview of how to construct your research paper (which will determine how you structure your outline).

Create a thorough outline, including a thesis statement portion, topic sentences, sub-topics, and specific evidence, including quotes you may wish to use.

We're getting toward the end. Just keep swimming!
