Senior Projects

Jedd giving his presentation on weight loss and physical fitness. The students have to write a lengthy research paper about their topic. Then they design a product they must design and make. They select a mentor and log their hours and progress. At the end of the year they give a technology based presentation to a panel of judges and the public. They have done well over the last few years.

Allison giving her's on autism and horse riding therapy. She has a little brother stricken with autism. She is a sweetheart.

Young, a foreign exchange student making "real" Twianese food.

My new podium!

A couple special ed. students did a group project. The wrote a paper about wood used in construction then built a podium for the English room. There is a little brass plate on the post with their names and date. They did very well.

Theo giving his presentation on bio-fuels. One of mentors is a grad student at SDSU, Chris Green, a former student of mine from Iroquois. Chris was in all my plays and English and Spanish classes. It was good for them to work together.

All the students have to do this their senior year, so there were many more, but these are a sample. So, I've been busy: school play, writing, senior projects, graduation impending, and working at the damned motel.

Great pics Walleye!

Prom was 2 weeks ago. Yep, they pack so many activities into the last 3 or 4 weeks of school.

great thread .... I don't remember all that work (student presentations) in my senior year. I can see the pride you have in being a part of the teaching profession ..... kudos!!!

I get paid to do it.
