Progress+Reports


 * Project Progress Report #1**

1. What progress have you made on your project and research in the past few weeks? Within the past few weeks, I have gotten my topic narrowed down to basically the Easter Seals organization and how they help people with disabilities. Also, I have gotten some research and I have a basic idea of what my paper will be on. I have also figured out what my project would be, because I will volunteer in an Easter Seals school and see how the teachers help the students become well adjusted to the outside world.

Within the last week my mentor has suggested who my topic expert should be and also got the topic expert signature sheet signed. My mom, mentor, has also given me suggestions on how to volunteer within the Easter Seals organization. I have also asked Dr. Valenza to help me out with the research and to help make the topic specific enough yet broad enough to get all the information that I need.
 * 1) What three goals do you have to accomplish before the next progress report is due?
 * 2) Have all of my research completed
 * 3) Contact my topic expert about volunteer work
 * 4) Start my volunteer work in either a Philadelphia or New York Easter Seals school
 * 5) What input has your topic expert and/or mentor contributed to your progress in the last week? Have you asked anyone else for advice or help?

**Project Progress Report #2** 1. What progress have you made on your project and research in the past few weeks? I have met two of my three goals that I set in the last progress report because I have completed all of my research and have contacted my topic expert about and set the dates for my volunteer work. This has helped me now because now I am able to start my paper without stressing about my project having to get done. I did not finish my project portion of the project because I set the dates to go over Thanksgiving break, so therefore I would not miss school and therefore I have to wait until then to go to New York and volunteer.

2. What three goals do you have to accomplish before the next progress report is due? a) Have rough draft completed b) Revise rough draft to better my final draft c) Work out final details with my volunteer work, figuring out how I am going to be able to keep track of my volunteer work

3. What input has your topic expert and/or mentor contributed to your progress in the last week? Have you asked anyone for help? In the last week my mentor has talked to my topic expert about my volunteer work so therefore the project portion of this class will be finished. My topic expert has contributed any literature that I need when it comes to the Easter Seals organization. I have asked my mentor for advice when it comes to my project because she knows how I can help myself in becoming a better person with helping out the children at the school.

**Progress Report #3** 1. Since the last progress report, I have finished my project ortion of the class. The thing I have not done is start working on my presentation.
 * 1) The progress that I have made since the last progress report is that I have finished my rough draft of my paper. Also, I have finalized the plans for my project that includes me going to New York and volunteering in the Bronx Easter Seals school. The only things that I have not done that I wanted to was to revise my draft, and that did not get done because we did not start that in class yet.
 * 2) Three goals I would like to achieve are:
 * 3) finish and document my project portion
 * 4) turn in my final paper
 * 5) start working on my presentation
 * 6) My topic expert has contributed the ability for me to volunteer within the school and help play with the kids. Also, my mentor has put in the contribution over trying to figure out exactly what to put in the paper and what not to put in the paper.
 * Progress Report #4**

2. Three goals I need to achieve are: a. Make my PowerPoint for my presenation b. Make my portfolio c. Outline a speech for my final presentation

3. My topic expert has taken me to the easter Seasl Early Beginnings School and has therefore helped me in completeing the project portion of senior seminar. My mentor has helped me to stay in it with the presentation and not give up.

Progress Report #5 1. Since the last progress report, I have completed the paper and the project portion of this class. I have finished all of the little details that I needed to get done in order to finish everything that I needed. 2. Before the next progress report I would like to have finished my PowerPoint, the speech for my final presentation, and to have the works cited page completed. 3. Within the last week I have not discussed anything with my topic expert or mentor. I have asked Ashley for help with making sure the pictures look good on the PowerPoint and that they do not looked stretched out.
