Senior Project Suggestion

Do not worry about the EQ at this point.    (It may not go exactly like this, just an idea of how it could go): What if I told you, you were going to start with a working EQ which has no rules or format.  It is any question.  For example, lets say you ask what is art or what makes art, art.  You then spend the time researching this from now till about November.   At the end of October/early November, you really start getting into your mentorship.   Between your research, and while you are with your mentor, you begin to realize you have interest in the art of taking photos.  Your mentor has a photography background or connects you with another mentor who has this background.  You then really grasp the foundation of the topic and write an EQ following specific rules in late November narrowing down the topic.  You now have a mentor helping you with your EQ and you know exactly what you must do the rest of the year.    Your job right now is simple:
  • volunteer 10 hours with a topic of interest (any) and complete blog 1
  • try to conclude what topic interest you by the end of summer
  • get contacts
  • read the link on 2013 blog supplies and summer information
  • go to the senior year website (see 2013 blog links) and click on senior project.  Read senior project introductory packet.   Feel free to check out the other senior project documents on the website.
Q & A
  • Can I have the same topic as somebody else?  YES!   You can't have the same working EQ or you can't narrow it down the same way in a EQ you write later.
  • What topics can't I do?  You can't do the topic of astrology or anything like it and pornography.
