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.

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.
