This course is a true capstone of experience that allows you to use a variety of skills learned in school: researching, analyzing and synthesizing information, drafting and revising, writing and public speaking. It's also a personal map that will give you a head start as you complete high school and begin the next part of your life, whether you go immediately to to a two- or four- year college, enter into technical training or military, or go directly to the workforce.
Each part of this course will help you build your final paper: Memoir, Career Chart, Argument, Career Plan, Introduction and Conclusion. You will then create a presentation showing your research to a panel of 2-3 professionals: Memoir, Info graphic, Argument, Career Plan, Introduction and Conclusion. Below is the Senior Project Overview for full explanation of every piece needed. This course will walk you through creating each piece.
