Graduation Project Components

Students will house all the required items on a Google Site. As students complete forms, documents, logs, and presentations, they will add them to their own Google Site. 

Considering the theme What inspires you? students will deeply explore an interest, social service, a possible career, or a creative project.  Students will submit a one-page letter of intent for topic approval.   

Students will complete fieldwork hours with a mentor/expert in the field of study.  The mentor must be 25 or older and cannot be an immediate family member or a CHS/CTC faculty member.

Students will complete a minimum of 15 hours of unpaid fieldwork. These hours can be in-person, virtual, or a combination. Students are to track the hours with a log sheet and are encouraged to take notes of their experience.

Four journals will accompany the topic and fieldwork experience.   One of the journals will require research from informational resources.

Journal 1: Goals & Expectations

Journal 2: Experience

Journal 3: Research

Journal 4: Roadblocks & Reflections

The project presentation is the culmination of all the students' learning.  Presentations must be at least 15 minutes long and highlight connections to learner qualities.  Students are encouraged to get creative and consider demonstrations and interactive showcasing of their learning.
