Senior Project Funding: Griptape + Internal Funding

1. Griptape- Outside organization, funds $500. Frame it as your passion, not as a school project. Have someone proofread and critique your application before submitting. Applications don’t open until January, but you fill this out to get notified when applications open in January.
2. Senior Project Funding- Complete the application linked here. We have $1200 to fund projects, so requests above $150 will likely not be approved at this point. Share completed application with Kyle, Lori, and Jessica.

Starter- Rubric Self-Assessment
Take a minute to look over the rubric for this assignment.  Pull up your Research Brief and look it over. Then, answer the questions in your starter document:

1. For each category of the rubric, assign your current draft a score (see the top of the rubric)
2. What category of the assignment are you most confident in at your current progress? Why?
3. What category are you least confident about? Why?=
4. What do you need to improve today before turning this in?

Finish Critiques

1. Finish Round 2 critiques if you didn’t finish yesterday
2. Use the Proofreading/Formatting checklist on the back of the critique handout to finalize and polish.

Work Time Priorities

1. Finalize your Final Draft Research Brief.  Turn that sucker in if you’re done!
   1. Please remember, we are looking for a HIGH LEVEL of polish here.  These should be darn near perfect, so get at least one other person to read over it for you.  Grading will reflect these expectations.
2. Start creating your POL Slides.  Look at the POL Overview for guidelines on what should go in each section of your POL.
3. Start drafting an outline of your POL presentation. Remember, you need to be engaging and informative at the same time- think about how to walk that line!
