Light Phase #4 Proposal Sheet/TPOL Preparation

One of the most important benchmarks in the HTH experience is the Transitional Presentation of Learning (TPOL). The
following sheets will help you reflect on your experiences this semester and design your final few weeks of the school
year.

Reflect on some of your academic and social Strengths. Include thoughts or anecdotes about your abilities,
work habits and behaviors. How has your project work been affected by these strengths?

Learning Area Strengths Evidence/Storytelling

Science I am interested in science which leads For my mini project; I was curious if doubling yeast
to curiosity/wonder, pushing me could create a monster baked good. In the end I got
my answer

Language Arts Setting a scene; telling a rich story Dorothea Lange writing piece; Taking facts and
(reading, writing, with detail. Being able to write for a creating stories to go with my photo
talking) long time.

Math Being able to solve a problem/ using Packets; not understanding- use my resources to
my resources help like asking a teacher, or searching through my
notes

Artistry/Craft Screen printing; really like being Learning to screen print (by myself)- hands on with
hands on pouring emulsion

Group Taking the leadership role- I can work Team time- being able to sit with everyone. Helping
Work/Collaboration with anyone people and working together

Ownership (putting Not afraid to put my stamp on my own Landscape final- kept going back and making small
your stamp on work; make it exactly how I want edits until I liked it (many drafts)
work)

Reflect on some of your academic and social Areas for Growth. Include thoughts or anecdotes about your
abilities, work habits and behaviors. How has your project work been affected by these Areas for Growth?

Learning Area Areas for Growth Evidence/Storytelling

Science Using my extra time wisely Pushing myself to learn more if i have extra time-
when Im done with my work

Language Arts Sharing my ideas out; speak up in In socratic seminars sharing my thoughts; during
(reading, writing, class about my ideas talks- sharing exactly what I think
talking)

Math Sharing my answers more (stepping During warm ups/share outs- going up to the board
out of my comfort zone) and sharing

Artistry/Craft Push my creativity to the limit/ do as If there is more I can do, then doing it to make it the
much as possible best it can be

Group Working with people I dont usually Choosing groups; need to work with others
Work/Collaboration work with; challenging myself to step sometimes. Not just my safety group
out of my comfort zone
Ownership (putting Taking credit for my work; not being If I create something; own up to my work and not be
your stamp on shy about my own work shy (with anything)
work)
Phase #4 Design

The purpose of Phase #4 is to give us all a chance to dive deeply into work that is exciting and will push us in our
Areas of Growth. These projects are student-led and will be exhibited with our Light project and at each student's
TPOL. Each student will complete the following questionnaire and meet with Mike and Andrew to critique and revise
their plan.

What are some Areas of Growth that you ought to work on? What aspect(s) of the project work would you revisit or
improve upon?

Challenging myself;
Sometimes during projects or assignments, I will do good work, but not push myself to the limit. I want to come out of
my comfort zone and do things I wouldnt usually do. This could be in screen printing (my example), being less shy,
ect.

What specific explorations will you pursue to enrich the Phase #4 experience?

Science/Technical Challenging myself to know/learn more about what is actually happening beyond my knowledge

Reading Reading passages of a book on screen printing

Writing Recording my entries in a journal - experience, stories, challenges

Photography I want to push myself to get a tough shot. A shot that was difficult to get; maybe thats hiking, or
going somewhere Ive never gone
What is a Final Photograph that could encapsulate your growth this semester? How? Sketch a draft.

I want to go to a difficult to get to place for my photo. I want to go even further in screen printing however. I am going
to create a halftoned screen print of my photo; something Ive never done before. This will push my creativity, craft,
and abilities overall.

This will connect to my TPOL because it will show how Ive pushed myself. Last year, I would have never put myself
to this challenge, or even began screen printing, but its all part of stepping out of my comfort zone.

This can tie to math because this task will be using math. I will need to do measurements on the screens,
