This paper will be assessed and graded in their English 12 class and added to their portfolio.
-
Major ComponentsII. Field Experience:
With the second component seniors will select some sort of hands-on experience (a job shadow, volunteer work, creating a product, etc.) that relates to the topic they researched and requires them to spend at least 15 hours using knowledge gained from that research and incorporates guidance from a community mentor.
-
The field experience must connect with the paper. It is a much easier task to match a research paper to a field experience.
