WHAT IS A GRADUATION PROJECT?

According to Pennsylvania Department of Education Chapter 4 regulations, every

student must complete a "culminating activity" in order to fulfill graduation

requirements. This "culminating activity" is referred to as the Graduation Project.

In order to graduate from high school, students shall complete a project that

relates to their technical program of studies under the supervision of members of our

faculty.

The graduation project is an independent, personalized learning experience,

presented through a culminating exhibition. Through multi-disciplinary projects, the

integration of academic and technical education is enhanced through this instructional

strategy. The purpose of the high school graduation project is to assure that students

are able to analyze, synthesize, evaluate, apply, communicate, and demonstrate their

knowledge and skills in their respective program of study. Furthermore, the concept of

the student exhibition, as a culminating learning experience, provides the student with

the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of both technical and academic skills.

1

GRADUATION PROJECT OVERVIEW

The objectives of the Graduation Project are to determine your ability to:

Communicate effectively in writing Exhibit your research using a variety of media technology Communicate effectively in speaking Think critically and creatively Demonstrate proficiency in research

The Graduation Project includes four components that serve as the basis for your requirements:

1. Written component - a 3-5 page support paper researching an authentic, interdisciplinary research topic.

2. Technology component - in which students use either audio, visual, technical or computer applications (or combination of) to analyze some aspect of the research topic.

3. Public speaking component - a 15 minute formal synopsis of the research topic, and 10 minutes of questions and answers.

4. Self-management component - maintenance of project handbook demonstrating research of your topic and work ethic.

*Rubrics for each component listing specific criteria for assessment are included in this handbook.

EVALUATION

You will work closely with your Advisor throughout the semester. You will maintain your handbook and meet deadlines for each of the necessary component tasks and will present your exhibition to a panel of staff members. A minimum grade of 70% is needed to pass this project. The Graduation Project grade will be recorded as your final exam grade for all Level One students. This grade counts as 20% of your technical program yearly grade.

PLAGIARISM GUIDELINES

Penalties for plagiarism can be severe including loss of credit, failure of the project, and disciplinary action. Unintentional plagiarism is still plagiarism, so be careful and know the rules.

Plagiarism can take several forms:

Writing facts, quotations, or opinions that the student got from someone else without citing the source.

• Using someone else's words without quotation marks and/or documentation.

• Using someone else's ideas without citing the source.

• Forging a signature or initials on any Graduation Project document.

To avoid plagiarism:

When in doubt, always give credit for a fact, quotation, or opinion taken from a book or other source. This strategy is necessary even when you use your own wording to explain a borrowed idea.

When the student uses a writer's wording-even a phrase, always put quotations marks around the writer's exact words and cite the source.

The student should not allow other sources to take over his/her research, He should write in his/her own style and stress what's most important to his/her project.

To avoid cheating:

The student should do his/her own work, Taking credit for another's work or work the student did not complete him/herself is cheating.

Claim credit only for work actually accomplished; do not falsify extent or thoroughness of tasks completed.

• The student should not allow other people to do his/her project for him/her.

THE PRESENTATION

In preparing for your presentation, you should consider props, visuals, equipment and appropriate attire.

GOALS:

Your project should reflect the goals you set in your proposal. Your presentation will be compared to your proposal.

You must state your goal in your introduction. Let the panel know what it is you want them to learn from your presentation.

APPLICATION OF KNOWLEDGE:

Your presentation should reflect new learning.

You must explain all aspects of your project. Be sure to let the panel know all the concepts you learned in order to complete the project.

You will be questioned about your project as well as your presentation.

TECHNIQUE AND CRAFTSMANSHIP:

Your visual products should be neat and professional in appearance. All projects will be displayed for school project expo.

Be sure grammar and spelling are correct on visuals, handouts, PowerPoint, and any other written material that is included in your presentation.

IMPACT:

Arrange information so it makes sense. Your presentation should progress in logical order rather than appear as a random collection.

Present your product so it will leave a lasting impression.

If your product is a journal, photos or something relatively small, develop an effective way to pass it around for the panel to view.

It is your responsibility to make sure everything is ready.
