Note to Class of 2009 – Summer Work on Culminating Project 

You may go ahead and begin work on your Culminating Project as soon as your Junior English teacher approves it.  If you wish to begin work over the summer,  please read the following information carefully so that you can make the best use of your time are not caught by surprise next fall:

• Students should understand that while it is possible to get a solid start over the summer, students are not “done” with the project when they return in September.   This is the same policy as last year.

• We will be using Web Grader to manage the project next year.  Over the summer, the Culminating Project Coordinators will be setting this up.  Therefore, not all the materials are available for you yet.

• Students who wish to work on the project over the summer should independently log all the hours they work, with paragraph descriptions of what they did and another, separate paragraph detailing what they learned from that “doing”.  Hours should be logged in chunks of no more than 5 hours at a stretch.

Advisory teachers will be meeting with students early in the 2008-09 school year to add detail to the proposals and modify the timelines as necessary.  We know that things change over the summer, and you’ll have a chance to work with your Advisory teacher to make sure your project will be a success.

Here are the tentative deadlines for next year:

Have a great summer and best of luck on your Senior Projects!
