About the Project
About the Project
This is the current "exit ticket" for seniors in English 12. The project draws on the ELA skills expected of a graduate — critical thinking, collaboration, research-driven writing, and more — as students present Senior Talks that are live or pre-recorded.
You can see student projects from 2020–2021 here or through the links at the bottom of this page. Context, instructional materials, and all student resources are archived in multiple places.

Live
Live
This is listed in the revised, final guide as a TED-Talk-inspired presentation or an Ignite presentation. Students were given the option of filming this timed, live presentation.
This option is for students who can perform well in front of an audience, who plan to work or study in a field that requires live presentations, or who want to challenge themselves with public speaking.
Pre-Recorded
Pre-Recorded
This is almost exactly the same as a live, in-person presentation, down to the use of multimedia slides and screens. The main difference is that students have permission to film that presentation and hand in the video when the deadline arrives.
One of the resources given to students for this option was Panopto, which has excellent free resources.
Digital
Digital
This is the kind of presentation you find in the world outside of TED highlights and Ignite archives. It is a digital video made up of various elements, from voiceovers to special effects. It is built to be shared online.
Read more about these digital options in the final guide to presentations.
