Blog 1: 2-Hour Presentations

1.  What presentations did you see?
Ski Patrol, Radio Frequency Field Engineering, Creating a Franchise, Forensic Science, Military Leadership, Yearbook, Public Defender, Computer Science, Angioplasty, Theatre Tech, Medical Missionary, Cancer Advocacy, Dentistry, Marriage and Family Therapy, Business Management, Animal Care.

3. What has the most important part of the senior project based on what you are seeing in the 2-hour presentations?

Based off of the presentations I have seen, I'd say the most important part is having solid, detailed explanations to your multiple answers for the Essential Question.

2.   What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project? This can be about the senior project in general, any components or about a presentation topic you saw or what they said. 
Does the activity count for time?
If it does, how long must the presentation be total?
Is food a good idea or bad one?
How many activities are required, or can you just talk the whole time?

4. What topic are you considering doing and why?
I am considering a couple different projects, but I really want to do either Theatre or Running a Kitchen (as in, what a head chef does). Theatre I would still need to narrow down, as just "theatre" is far too broad. I would do it, though, because I love acting, directing, working on sets, or just doing whatever I can for plays. Running a Kitchen is something I came up with because I volunteer at VFW Sunday breakfasts, where I often end up directing and organizing doers so it is easier for the kitchen to get stuff out more quickly. I love to cook and I love working with the cooks there, and I think it'd be a lot of fun and very interesting to do a Senior Project related to those things.

5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?

I am still not sure what my summer mentorship will be because I am having trouble finding someone or someplace to mentor at. I have three or four ideas for projects in general and I think mainly what will help me decide between them are whatever mentorship I can get first.
