Helping 2013

Interviewee:  Salvador Gutierrez
Interviewer:  Diana Gutierrez

Q:  What ideas do you have for your senior project and why?

A:  I want to play soccer.  Why? because I love soccer.  I was playing since I was eight years young, and it runs in the family. 

Feedback:  I believe you have to fill out some paperwork by May this year if you want to do a sport.  You can check up on that with one of the senior teachers.

Q:  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?  You also have to do 50 hours during the school year.

A:  Working with an expert.  I just don't know what expert yet.

Feedback:  I think you can do your service learning with a coach you've worked with before or find some connections.

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

A:  Effort.  Quality work.  Games and activities, where they interact with the audience.

Feedback:  Observe the room and when you watch the presentation start getting ideas of what you probably want to do for your senior project.  You may discover a new topic you'd want to work on.

Q:  What questions do you have about senior project?

A:  Do we have to take our experts to the presentation?  Do we have to have one expert or can we work with various people?  Does it have to be a professional soccer player?

Feedback:  No.  You don't have to take your expert (s) to the presentation.  You want to start thinking of possible experts to work with right now to be ready for the summer.  Start thinking of what exactly you will be doing for your service learning.  You don't have to work with a profession soccer player, I  believe.  Usually, people work with one expert (mainly one).  Think of other options, just in case this doesn't work out.
