"Senior project"

What are you guys considering for your topics for the senior project practice? I had soem ideas, but I'm not sure if it is better to do a research project, or do a project that has an actual event or purpose to it. Also, who were you guys thinking of using for your advisor outside school to help you? Just thought a discussion on it could help with thinking of ideas!

Help From Your Classes
Hi,The Television Studio would like to come up with a new name for our bi-weekly tv show VSD In Focus. Would you like to ask your students for any creative thoughts or ideas they might have for a name.Here's some background on the show.It is a educational show for the Vancouver School district that appears on Channel 28 every two weeks. The show features stories about students, teachers, schools, classes and community events involving schools. The intent is to inform the public about Vancouver schools and to present VSD in a positive way (marketing) to the general public.We are looking for something new, something snappy or catchy. Example: Evergreen School District uses YES (Your Evergreen Schools).If you wanted could you talk to the kids about this and see if they have any suggestions.You can email them back to me. Susan.Knable@vansd.org.Thanks for your help.Susan KnableTelevision Studio/Public Information/Community Partners313-1140

PRESENTATION RUBRIC

I would like (since you are allowing me to choose for you) for this presentation to be scholarly in structure and nature. A college level research project typically consists of five components: Introduction, Literature review, Data, Data Analysis, and Summary/Conclusion.

A little more detail-

1. Introduction-What is the purpose of this endeavor? Develop a research question that will be answered by your presentation. This is not a description of the author’s attempt to accomplish anything. This is a description of what you are trying to accomplish.

2. Literature Review-What are other scholars saying about the same topic? For this particular presentation you should have at least three reliable sources. This means leaders in the field, subject matter experts. Any work used here should be work that has been published and peer reviewed.

3. Data-Literature Deconstruction/Analysis and plot/theme/etc. Facts only. We don’t want any opinions here. This portion of the presentation should actually be a descriptive list.

4. Data Analysis-What has the author proven/told us/demonstrated/etc.? Limit this to facts. Again, this is not the place for your opinion. After examining the data what has been told, proven, disproved, demonstrated, etc.?

5. Summary/Conclusion-This is the only place you may include your opinion. Rely on
points you have established with your interpretation of the reviewed literature, deconstruction, and data analysis to provide an answer to your introductory question (as you see it). You will notice this is quite a departure from conclusions such as “I thought it sucked” or “it was OK.”





As for the method of presentation…

Day 1
-each presentation must include:
-a video representation (about 5 minutes)
-a musical component (about 5 minutes)
-graphic art that helps contextualize the work (about5 minutes)
-an interactive segment (about 15 minutes)
-an oral presentation of the project “paper” (about 20 minutes)
-comments from each member of the class (at the end)
Day 2
-your version of the act you are assigned rewritten in SAE as a Cowboy play
-be true to every metaphor and simile
-you may be as creative as you like, but do not change the plot
Grading

You will be graded on the quality of your work and the level of your participation. Prior to your presentation submit a list of the individual assignments within your group. You will be graded individually.
On Day 1, using the entire period, you must present your material using all of the components listed above. There will NOT be an actual research paper, but you will be presenting the same material that would be included in a paper if you were to actually turn one in. Time IS an issue-make sure you have enough material to fill the period without being too short or too long. If you stick to the suggested times listed above you will be fine. Embrace the project; there will be many more throughout the year.
On Day 2 you will be presenting your SAE version of the play. This will be a line-for-line reading. If there are more characters than you have members in your group you may (and should) call on members of the class to read. This Cowboy version of the play should be a continuation of the previous act. Each group will turn in a clean copy of their rewritten play.

We will have further discussion in class regarding requirements and grading.

Enjoy and please post any questions on the Blog, send an e-mail, or ask me directly.
