Senior Project Cohorts

Alright, seniors, this is it!  The final countdown begins!  Here's our plan for today:

TED Talk Finalists:  We will announce the finalists for the TED Talk awards.  These people will be giving their talks the night of All School Exhibition.

Document Review:  Review relevant documents (all of which are linked on the Senior Project Page of my DP at the very bottom).  Senior Project To Do, Cohort Groups.

Review Cohort Group goals and structures​:  Cohorts will meet during 3rd and 4th periods on Mondays, Tuesdays, and either Thursday or Friday.  Wednesdays are available for off-campus work. Except for Wednesdays, unless a student has made arrangements with us, they should be on-campus and working on their senior project during 3rd and 4th periods.   Our rooms will also be available for work time during 5th and 6th, and seniors are encouraged to use this time and space!​

1. ​​Mondays- Schedule and goals, check in, set goals for next week, reflective piece for week before, figure out who is getting critiqued on Tuesday.
2. Tuesdays- Project tunes/critiques in cohort subgroups (groups of 5) and exhibition planning.
3. Wednesdays- Free work days. As seniors do not have electives on Wednesdays, they may choose to work off campus to get project work done that requires meeting with community partners, gathering resources for events, etc...They are also welcome to work at school and/or seek guidance from senior teaching team as needed during this time.
4. Thursdays/Fridays- Individual check-ins with cohort advisor (Kyle, Kurt or Lori). Half of seniors will meet on Thursday to check-in with their advisor, the other half will meet on Friday.  On the day that seniors are not scheduled for their check-in, they are expected to work on their senior project at school unless they have specifically made other arrangements with their cohort advisor AND are expected to attend electives as scheduled.

Cohort Group Work Time

1. Break into cohort groups, fill out Senior Project To Do as much as possible, schedule an individual check-in for Thursday (4th period) or Friday (3rd or 4th)

REMINDER--ALL seniors need to be in their cohort group during 3rd period tomorrow for a dilemma/project tune!

HOMEWORK:  Fill out Senior Project To Do.  Start working your way down your to-do lists!
