Senior Project - Week of May 14
This week's goals:
Finish your presentation.
Edit your rough draft.
We'll be working on presentations this week, and begin presenting on Monday, May 21. Save your presentation to google docs, so that it's accessible here at school. Remember, if you want a video clip (from Youtube, for instance) in your presentation, you must download it at home first, then put the video into a slide. Links to Youtube and similar sites won't open at school. Download instructions are available on the library web page.
You can sign up for a presentation date, though be prepared to present as early as Monday, in the event that your date needs to be bumped up.
Putting together your presentation is the fun part. (Really!) Enjoy your creation. I can't wait to see what kinds of things you come up with. :)

Senior Project - Week of May 7
This week's goal: Finish your rough draft.
Storyboards are due Monday, May 7. Completed rough drafts are due Friday, May 11.
We're in the home stretch now! Next week, you'll be editing your rough draft and creating your presentation.
Some points to remember when writing and editing:
-Formal papers (such as research papers and most essays) are in 3rd person. You should eliminate 1st person (I, me, my, we, us, our) and 2nd person (you, your).
-Follow the format listed in your "Organizing Your Senior Project" sheet. A copy is available on edmodo if you've misplaced your original. Save your opinion for the section in which it belongs.
-Please reexamine your handout on avoiding plagiarism. If you're uncertain about some of your material, please ask me about it. Before you turn in your final draft, you'll be running it through a plagiarism checker.
