At the end of each term each student will get to present a showcase piece of
their project to the class. This is a celebration of their passion and shared
interests.
All projects require you to obtain teacher approval before you begin. The
previous project must be completed before you start on the next project. If
you want to keep the same topic for the next term you will need to still obtain
teacher approval.
Creating a Showcase for their project at the end of each term can be done in
many ways such as: an essay, a powerpoint, a drawing or painting, an
artifact of the project, a collage and so on.
Here is an example of what you could do with your project, you may decide
you want to learn more about how dogs get adopted. You will research and
learn about how dogs get adopted then part of your hours decide to help at
an animal shelter. Then put a final project together showing what you have
learned. This can be done in the format of an essay, powerpoint
presentation, a book created by you, a painting done by you and so on.
If you choose to stick with the same topic for your next project you may add
in your previous hours to combine with your new hour total. For example, if I
was doing the proficiency level and completed my 15 hours then to get the
expert level I would only need to do 5 more hours. As previously stated, you
will need teacher approval to continue with the same topic.
Students are required to share every time whether you have completed your
project for the term or continuing your project for another term. At the end
of each term each student’s name will be posted on our Passion Project
board with a picture of their project.
All projects are required and must be completed by the end of each term.
Please plan ahead for this deadline.
