Name of Assignment: Project Proposal Subject: Senior Seminar Facilitator/Teacher: Adam Fleischer
Description of Work/Assignment:
During the first quarter, Mr. Adam was there to help guide the students and us on the right track. A lot of the assignments were to get us going to start a project and to help us get the foundation done. Once we knew what our project was, we needed to make a proposal with the timeline of our project, the end goal of the project, what is needed, the mentors, and more. The reason of this assignment was to make sure the student knows exactly what their project is and also to give a clear final proposal to Mr.Adam.
Which 21st Century Skill do you feel this assignment addresses, and why?
This project covers the self-directional skill. The senior project is to be done by a singular student, and not in groups. Brainstorming the project idea and planning out what I am going to do for my project was a big step. A lot of the thinking was done by me, but it helped to gain other people's ideas and thoughts.
What are you most proud of from this assignment, and why?
I am proud of the whole assignment, mostly because I am really excited about my project. I love to do hands-on projects, and that is basically what my project is in a nutshell. I planned everything out and it sounds like the final product is going to be awesome and will benefit so many people.
What was most difficult about completing this task?
This project proposal in particular was to complete the whole project. It took a while to make sure I sounded professional in the writing and also had accurate and realistic goals. The budgeting of the project must've been the hardest part because I haven’t used google sheets for budgeting before. Actually, I haven't budgeted at all, so it was all new. I also don’t have a budget, but I made a budget for myself to stay under so I don’t burn a hole in Mr.Zarros pocket.
How could you improve this work?
I could improve this work by adding more detail to my budget. I could've done more research on the process of installing the flooring and speakers. I could possibly need to spend money on tools and other materials depending on what the school has for me to use.
If you could start over, what would you do differently?
I would redo my budget to add more detail to the list. Also, I would also add more detail and try to be more realistic on my timeline. With these two things, it would improve my project greatly and actually help me in the long run.
