Four Year Research Project Review Basha High School
Freshman Year • Research Proposal • Objectives: • Choose a topic—something that aligns with your passion and your gifts • Do preliminary research • Create a “game” plan
Sophomore Year • Annotated Bibliography • Objectives: • Research so you become an expert on your topic • Refine your topic • EVALUATE sources—don’t look like a fool! • Connect research to your ultimate goal
Junior Year • Research Paper • Objectives • Incorporate research into academic writing • Demonstrate your prowess, your knowledge, your passion to help! • Generate an understanding of your connection to the topic
Senior Year • THE Project • Objectives • To assume the authority, control, and leadership of a serious project • To build real world skills (communication, organization, management, action) • To create something that endures—your positive actions have immortality!
FAQ’s • Can I get $$ to support my idea? • Yep! You can apply for a grant • Can I change my topic? • If there was ever a time—sophomore year is the time to do it. Remember: be practical, think about the project down the line, consult your teacher. • What if I don’t have a research proposal (I’m new to BHS?) • Your teacher will “fast-forward” you through the process. Then you will jump in with your peers.
You CAN make a difference! • http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/adora_svitak.html • Child prodigy Adora Svitak says the world needs "childish" thinking: bold ideas, wild creativity and especially optimism. Kids' big dreams deserve high expectations, she says, starting with grownups' willingness to learn from children as much as to teach.
