Course Overview
Course Overview
CCP3 is a year of coalescing. During the fall semester students will look back at what they have accomplished as a learner and community member to synthesize their attainment of the nine essential skills, represented as compass points. Once they enter the Spring semester, students are ready to start looking forward. Students will be asked to dig deep and explore their own passions and interests to better guide them in what they will do after they graduate high school. Each student will create a proposal for their Senior Capstone Project and present this proposal in an interview format.
Unit 1 - Assembling the Compass
Unit 1 - Assembling the Compass
Objective: you will have in your Digital Portfolio in the "Compass Points" page at least one artifact that demonstrates your understanding of or experience with each of the 9 essential skills below.
Unless the artifact explicitly describes the connection or relevance to the essential skill, the artifact must include a written annotation describing in detail the artifact's connection or relevance to the essential skill.
Examples of possible artifacts include the following:
Work samples from your learning career (written assignments, projects, presentations, etc.)
Written, video, or audio narratives of an experience where you developed or explored the essential skill

Using the definitions below, locate or create an artifact, from anytime in your career as a student, that specifically and thoroughly proves you have acquired each compass point. We recommend that you create a new folder in your Google Drive titled "CCP Compass Points". Populate that folder with artifacts (or potential artifacts) for each compass point. Together, we will look at creating Shortcuts within Google Drive. Click here for a student example.
Here are suggestions for possible artifacts:
Video of an experience
High quality writing sample
School project or presentation
Detailed anecdote (written, video, audio) of a life experience
