Helping 2013


Who did you interview: Jacob Ruiz
What day and time: April 24th at 12:30pm

(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
their answer
I'm not too sure... I like writing so maybe something to do with that. I want to teach history. Drawings a lot of fun for me, although I'm not very good.
What feedback did you offer when you heard the topic ideas?
They all sound like interesting topics, but I think your best bet would be on teaching history. Writing depends. Are you writing an actually story or book? Finding a professional for service learning might be hard. Drawing is a good choice too. You could always find an art teacher to work with and there's different types of drawing you can cover.
(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting? Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.
their answer
I'm not too sure about this either. If I go with teaching history, I was thinking of working with my middle school history teacher. They start school mid-August so I'll be able to complete the 10 hrs I need.
What feedback did you offer them in response?
That sounds good. Especially since you'll be able to do it over the summer. Finding a way to teach history during that time sounds a bit difficult to find. You could probably also talk to Nav or Daly about helping him during school time.

(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

their answer
free things... just kidding. I hope to see some new things, or even a new view on the different topics.
What suggestions did you give them regarding how they should approach watching the 2 hour presentations?
I definitely think you should check out the presentations that would appeal best to you. Like I believe David Roeder's topic is teaching history. You should definitely check it out. Keep in mind how they explain their answers and how they got up to it.

(4) What questions do they have about senior project? What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project? Be specific and note what you told them

questions they had
When is the seniors presenting this year? How did you get your hours done?

What additional recommendations did you give them?
This year, our senior project presentations begin on May 21st to June 1st. In my case, I got my hours completed with my uncle. He does background painting for videogames so he teaches me how he gets those done as well as the programs he uses.

Who did you interview: Andrew de Santiago
What day and time: April 24th at 1:00pm

(1) What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?
their answer
I'm not too sure, but I was thinking something health or medical related.
What feedback did you offer when you heard the topic ideas?
That sounds good. You should probably try to find some service learning with those things already. Also, Health and the Medical field is a really wide topic so you need to find a specific area you'd want to study.
(2) What do you plan to do to complete the 10 hours of service learning (working with an expert) which is due prior to senior year starting?  Note: They also have to complete the 50 hours during the school year.
their answer
Well, I know a professional health trainer so maybe I can work with him if I chose to focus on a topic in health. As for the medical field, I can always help out at hospital.
What feedback did you offer them in response?
That sounds great. It's great that you're able to find service learning right away. Just be sure to get started as soon as possible. The sooner you start the more hours you can get done.
(3) What do you hope to see or expect to see when watching the class of 2012 present their two hour presentations?

their answer
I'm looking forward to seeing some interesting presentations, ones where I am able to learn new things.

What suggestions did you give them regarding how they should approach watching the 2 hour presentations?
I definitely recommend trying to get into the presentations that best suit your topic that you plan to have. That way, you can sort of get an idea and example of how someone else did it. I'd also watch out for how they led up to their answers or the different EQ's they have because there can be multiple things you can focus on with your topic.

(4)What questions do they have about senior project? What additional recommendations would you give the 2013 student about senior project? Be specific and note what you told them

questions they had
Do you need to speak for the entire 2 hours? I kind of want to have activities and a guest speaker. Is that ok? What's your topic? What did you do for service learning?

What additional recommendations did you give them?
No, for the 2 hr, you're only required half an hour of speaking time about your research. The rest of the time is for activities. You can have guest speakers, but do make sure that you are the one teaching majority of the presentation. I guess its fine if they add in a bit. My topic's digital animation and I have an uncle who works on videogames' background art. I work with him for service learning and he often shows me how he designs the scenery in the game.
