The Republic Senior Project consists of three phases:

1. Writing and Research: The first phase includes the preparation of a writing piece supported by research. Students may choose to write a traditional argumentative research paper or an informative/explanatory paper that examines and conveys complex ideas and presents information clearly. 

2. Product: The second phase is a tangible creation based on choosing, designing, and developing an item related to the field of study. The product is the natural extension of learning based on the research and writing. The product must be of some benefit to the student, a group, or the community. 

3. Presentation: The third phase is a 20-minute formal presentation before a panel of judges. The presentation consists of an 8-10 minute speech on the paper, the project, and personal growth. A question & answer period will follow the presentation.

If you have any questions about my Senior Project, I would love to discuss them with you. You can reach me at my school email: 24ochoad@republicschools.org.
