Portions are based on the Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 18pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The Senior Project is designed to be the culmination of each student’s academic experience at Dubois High School. It will highlight the skills students have learned in their 12 years of education and is a chance for students to merge their various interests, passions, and curiosities with their academic lives. Senior projects will challenge the planning and organizational skills of students as well as strengthen the school and community bond. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A senior project provides the opportunity for a student to choose an area of interest, complete a project, conduct in-depth research, and demonstrate problem-solving, decision-making, and independent learning skills. This project will contribute to a senior year of challenging courses and practical experiences that prepare students for the next step in life, whatever that may be. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The Essential Question **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: Because a successful and meaningful Senior Project necessarily involves genuine inquiry around a topic of the student’s choosing, each senior will focus their work around a complex, interesting, and sustainable essential question. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Benefit to the Larger Community **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: Because we are all members of a broader community, Senior Projects may incorporate some aspect of “giving back” to others. In this regard, a senior’s work, time, and energy should result in a contribution that has an impact on individuals or an entity that goes beyond the student or the project itself. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Multi-Faceted Approach **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: Because of the complex nature of each Senior Project, seniors must incorporate a variety of modes of thinking in the planning, implementation, and exhibiting of their projects. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">A Research Component **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: No Senior Project will be successful without a substantial element of new learning. This learning can take place in many ways, one of which must be research. Research must be both experiential (interviews, internships, surveys, etc.) and text-based (library, internet, etc.), although the degree to which each form is emphasized will vary from student to student. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Collaboration **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: One of the most important skills in life is the ability to work with and learn from other people. Each Senior Project must incorporate some element of collaboration with individuals outside Dubois High School. In many cases, these “outsiders” will serve as mentors for their Senior Project. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 7pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Academic Rigor **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">: Each Senior Project must be conceived in a way that challenges the student to think deeply and critically beyond what he/she already knows and is able to do. The topic must be big enough for the student to consider multiple perspectives, but not so big that it will lead only to superficial understanding. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> the research paper <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> the process portfolio <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> the product <span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">· <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> the presentation <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Each of these components is described in detail in the pages that follow.

It is expected that elements of your project will shift and be revised as you gain knowledge through the year; however, these revisions must be documented in Tracker so that the letter accurately reflects the work you are doing on your project. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 13.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Your name <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">Your street address <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">City, State, Zip Code <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">Date <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">Senior Project Advisory Committee <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">Dubois High School <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">314 Helmer <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">Dubois, WY 82513 <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">Dear Senior Project Advisory Board: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">In this paragraph, describe the general area of interest for your project (science, art, <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11.5pt;">sports, law, entrepreneur etc.), and why you are interested in this area.

All your research (whether it comes from books and articles or from interviews, films, observations, or other types of sources) needs to be documented well. This research will then be turned in to your advisor and formally assessed as a required component of the project. Though every project is different, some general guidelines for sources include: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">After you do some preliminary research, your first step is to create research questions to guide your research process (due at your October Conference). As you gather sources and do the research, it is expected that you will keep notes and an annotated bibliography of all sources. Your research notes, annotated bibliography, and any other compiled information will be reviewed by your advisor at your first Conference/Flag Day in October. You will also have several opportunities to revise your research paper through activities both in and out of class. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">In November, you will hand in a Research Paper rough draft, and your LA teacher/advisor will tell you one of three things: <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">You will then continue to work on your research to finalize it for the December deadline.

This panel is responsible for assessing both the substance and the style of the exhibition. There will also be a 5-10 minute Question and Answer component to the presentation. Students are expected to be able to answer difficult questions from members of the panel about the process, outcomes, and reflections on demand. An inability to answer relevant questions sufficiently will impact the assessment of the exhibition as a whole. //Please note, this exhibition is assessed on its own merits, separate from the product and the process//. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Each panel will have the following five positions represented: the advisor, mentor, one outside community member – can be a topic “expert” or other friend of DHS (visitors, non-DHS teachers, parents, etc.), one additional Dubois staff member, and one non-senior student. Using the given rubric, the panel must come to consensus about whether the exhibition is Just Beginning, Approaching, Meeting or Exceeding the expectations. Exhibitions can be revised and presented a second time as a component of summer school, if necessary. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Your Senior Project Exhibition //will be assessed// by a jury of panelists.

Your goal is to convey to your audience the fundamentals of what you learned throughout the course of your project. What will help an outsider understand your work and learning? You should work to include visual aids such as pictures, video, a powerpoint presentation, etc. If you created a website, wrote a song, or learned how to juggle, consider showing that to your jury. As you prepare for your exhibition, you should develop and fine-tune your outline and the organization of your presentation, seeking help and asking questions of your senior LA teacher & SLC advisor as needed. You must also practice your presentation, including using the required technology. Your exhibition is assessed on content as well as delivery, so it is important to pay attention to both aspects as you prepare. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman';"> <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica','sans-serif';
