Culminating Project 2007-2008

Congratulations on completing the second step of the Culminating Project!

Save the date of May 13^th, 2008, for our Culminating Project Exhibition evening.

This will be a 15-20 minute presentation.

• The overall questions to be answered for your CP exhibition/presentation:

• How has growth occurred for me over the past four years?
• How am I prepared to achieve my goals after High School?

You will make your presentation to a panel of teachers and/or community members and your parent/guardian[s].

→The exhibition will start with a 15 minute overview of your work.

You will present:

o your culminating project work (“What did I accomplish with my culminating project?” “What did I learn from my culminating project experience?” “How does this direct me toward future goals in my life?”)

o your portfolio pieces and their importance (“How do these pieces of work demonstrate who I am as a learner)

We will have a computer/document camera/projector for you. Many students are doing power point presentations. If you are planning to present with a power point, please have your presentation saved on a USB drive, and make sure that your document is compatible with our classroom presentation computers.

If you need additional technology or equipment (piano, particular lighting, etc) please let Ms. Campbell or Mr. Shearer know asap.

→Next, you will answer questions and engage in a dialogue about your culminating project and portfolio with your review committee. (5 minutes)

Students should do a “dry run” presentation in a 9^th or 10^th grade mentorship. Work with your mentorship teacher to arrange a time to do a practice presentation on one of these dates: April 23, April 24, April 30, May 1, May 7, May 8.

Note: You will need an overall average score of 2 to pass this final portion of the Culminating Project. The Content section scores will be weighted so that they are worth more in your final score.
