Memo

Mrs. Montgomery Kevin Lewis

Subject: Senior Project Progress The progress on my senior project has progressed rapidly. While there have been a few issues as far as the research paper, the overall paper turned out well. I am currently in the process of writing parts of my paper to improve upon them. The parts that I am most focused on are the conclusion, adding newly discovered information, and changing my introduction to match the rest of my paper. There are some grammatical errors that I am correcting as well. The product has been another issue as well. I was attempting to make a disc of recordings of my violin. I have found that the equipment is not up to the standards that I need and can sometimes be unreliable. This makes my product very hard to produce and I have decided that I may need to change it. I have only thought about one suggestion to change my product to. The variety show would be a great experience to manage. It will teach me how to budget my time and use the resources that I have available. I have already begun plans to direct a variety show and in order to make the variety show productive and entertaining I am going to try to gather acts to show. I have the goals that I want to accomplish written in a document to help me maintain a clear progression of steps to accomplish these goals. Finally I have put together a set of deadlines that will help me reach these goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. The dates are as follows:
February 10 (Monday) March 3 March 13 (Mon-Thurs) March 3 to May 2 March 26 (Wednesday) March 28 (Friday) April 3 (Thursday) April 24-25 (Thurs-Friday) May 10 Progress presentation (3-5 minutes) (rubric) Product Previews Committee Evaluation Interview (Behavioral Based Interviews) Report on 15 (total) hours of community service Reflection Paper #2 Invitations for public presentations (rubric) Public presentations (final product due)/speech rubric & exhibit rubric Digital Portfolio :Proposal, Progress letter, Work logs, Annotated bibliography, Final research paper (paper, outline, works cited), Invitation to public presentation, Reflection Papers 1 & 2, Committee Evaluations, Community Service Report, Updated resume
