20% Time - The Work

Mentors

Some projects may require (or benefit from) an adult mentor who can help guide and inspire it. I hope parents will play a role in finding an appropriate mentor for this project. The mentor will serve to offer advice, provide informal leadership, and follow the progress blogs. You don't NEED to have a mentor, but if you find one, document that in your proposal and blog reports.

20% Days

Throughout the remainder of the semester, you will have one day a week (Friday) to work on your project. If you need to be off-campus to work on your project, you'll need to do that on weekends or afternoons and use the scheduled 20% time as a productive tutorial period, meeting period, or writing period.

The Final Presentation - TED Style

At the end of the year, each individual/(team) will give a five-minute presentation to students, teachers, and community members where they will show off their work. This will be carefully written, choreographed, and rehearsed to produce the best presentation they’ve ever given. These TED-style presentations will be delivered and recorded in the Media Center Theater. Here is a two minute video of highlights from another school’s presentations.
