“It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.” ~John Wooden 3 Oct. 2013

Hello!

Please pick up a yellow Yes Test, and get out your Senior Project handbook and a

pen (colorful?) to use for SP proposal editing!

Write down the learning target for today, please!

Learning Target: Evaluate SP proposals with Yes Test

Agenda10/3/13 Editing of proposals/Discussion about

learning

Homework: TTTC: By the beginning of class Friday-complete the last page of the guide.

**Make sure you bring your English notebook tomorrow because you’ll be organizing it for turn-in!

Notes for everyone

Check out the Yes Test… Student ID # required, letter “T” after

number Project Descriptions- should be a larger

paragraph! Should cover all elements of the project- who,

what, when, where, why, and how it will be done

Does this proposal explain what the person will be doing for 20+ hours IN DETAIL??

Ignore the “no mentor” line. Everyone is expected to have a mentor.

Do the Project Analysis Steps sound valuable and necessary?

“Doing the project” or “writing my paper” are not legit steps!

Editing Senior Proposals

Work with a partner, and work together on comments for the proposals. Remember to be respectful and professional in your

commenting and editing.

Write many comments ON the proposal itself. Circle words that are misspelled, mark lines that are unclear, etc. Write LOTS of questions. If something is unclear or if you think

they need more details, ask a question to help the writer know what you’re wondering about as the reader.

Do they cover “who/what/where/when/why and how?” Refer to the section of the handbook that matches the type of

proposal for additional details When you’re finished writing on the proposal, use

theYes Test sheet to summarize your response Please don’t rush through this step! Complete the Yes Test, staple it to the proposal, and return the

proposal to the stack up front

In your notebooks:

What did you notice about your proposals today? Any patterns of errors? Anything you realized about your proposal

in light of theirs (like, yours had a lot of detail, or yours did not have enough detail?)

And then…work time! Finish reading and the reading guide (due

at the beginning of class tomorrow)
