2. What questions do you have that haven't been answered about the senior project?
I was wondering how long are the actual "2 hour" presentations? The run time for all the ones I saw seemed like only an hour. One senior told me you have 30 minutes of talk time, and then 30 minutes of activity time, but the activities didn't seem that long.
Why are most of the senior projects individual, when all we've been doing is group projects?
If you cannot find a mentor in the field you want to go in, are you not aloud to do that topic?
3. What is the most important part of the senior project, based on what you saw in the two hour presentations?
The most important part of the senior presentation is probably the talk time. It looks like you need to know your info, if you want to meet the time, and if you want to make it entertaining. I noticed you need and essential question, you need to define specific parts of the question, have three answers to your question, and then pick your best answer.
4. What topic are you considering doing and why?
I really want to do Exotic Dancing or Stripping. I'm pretty sure the teachers aren't going to take me seriously, but it is something I really want to do. It is a serious career that society turns into something bad. I was just talking to a friend about it, and they told me not to do it, I said I want to, and then they said good luck having Aids, or HIV. That was shocking. Society told this person that it is some unholy career, and is like prostitution. At the end of the day it is just a job. I think it would be fun to do, because I am a pretty confident person, and I think it would be easy for me. I am also a terrible dancer, and kind of afraid of doing it. So by facing my fears head on I think I can get lessons, become better, and make a career out of my, once, fear.
5. What are you doing for your summer mentorship?
I have not thought that far ahead, but I mentioned my career to my mom, and she said that one of my sister's friends has a brother in the career. I could possibly mentor with him, but we haven't talked to him yet.
