Extra Credit Opportunity: Senior Projects!
Click here to read about senior projects across the country. What do you think? Post a well thought-out opinion of 5 sentences on this topic in the COMMENTS section below.
I thought that article was pretty interesting. I never thought about a senior project like the children did at Wakefield High. Now I see why schools today make us students do senior project, to get us prepare for our future. Which actuslly helped me my last year of high school.
This article was okay. The students in Wakefeild High take the Snior Poject more serious than we do here in Piladelphia. Im kind of happy that we have to do the senior project, we can be compared to other schools thatdo the senior projesct, and it sort of gets us ready for the next step.
In my own personal opinion, I didn't really find the article interesting at all. Maybe I am just a disgruntled teen who'd rather live an episodic existence, as stated in the article. Yes, in some cases, this does open a lot for people particularly interested in their subject. But for me, I find it tedious and annoying. I shouldn't be "forced" to research a particular subject and expect some newfound enlightment. I still protest senior projects, if anything I would do my senior project on why there shouldn't be a senior project. Kidding. Anyway, article didn't do it for me.
i believe that the senior project is a very important project that every high school student should do. the senior projects prepares you for the work you will be doing in college. it is a nice way for you to see how things will be in the future, because in college you will have to write 10 page papers on a regular basses so this is a good way to let you see how it would be. the only difference between the senior project and actual college work, is that there is more time. i think it is important that every senior does one, despite the face that some people think that teachers are ruining their lives by making them do it.
The senior project is a great thing 2 require 4 graduating seniors. It gives seniors a chance to experience in research. Also if they pick any intresting topic then it allows them a chance to gather more information. It might even give them a new career choice

I feel as thought a senior project is something that every senior in every school should do. i think it helps proved basic research training to senior which allows hem to prepare for college. i think a senior project could be fun and interesting when a student is allowed to pick his or her own topic and is not force to do it on something they have no interest in.
