Proposal

Project:** //Briefly describe your intended project: What will you do? Where will you work/ volunteer? With whom will you work/ volunteer?// My project idea was to split my time volunteering with Senora Kent and helping her with her Spanish 1 class c block day 1. I would also be helping a friend of my mother's niece learn English and I would also tutor her in her schoolwork. That way I would be learning how to teach both English and Spanish.
 * Graduation Project Proposal

//Project outcome or goal: What products will result from your work/ volunteerism? Describe how you will use the the product in order to demonstrate your topic and experience.// I do not have a product planned at the end of my project because I will just serve my time volunteering.

//Project completion strategies: How will you go about completing your project? Describe your plan for implementing and completing your project.// I plan to go every c block day 1 (when I have Study Hall) to Senora's room and help the Spanish 1 class. During the lunch period in c block, I will meet with her for advice on how to teach Stephanie English. On weekends I will then meet with Stephanie to help her with her homework and to teach her everyday English that she will need to know as well.

//Project resources and materials: What will you need to complete your project? describe materials, resources, people, hours, etc. that are necesary for you to complete your project.// I will need to talk to Senora Kent to learn how to teach someone English when all they know is Spanish. I will probably need to make flashcards, posters, maybe even bring some textbooks home to use them in reverse. I also need to find a day and time to meet with this girl. I know that we both have school and we would need to meet after school and after hockey practice for me.

//Research topic: Briefly describe the topic of your research and why you chose this topic.// My reseach topic is focusing on how people learn, specifically how to teach and learn new languages.
 * Research:**

//Essential question: State your essential question.// My essential question is "How do people aquire (or learn) languages?"

//Prior experience: Have you had any prior experience(s) with this topic? If so, please describe.// My only prior experience is learning a bit of Spanish in class, so I know some teaching techniques.

//Research benefits: who or what will benefit from your research investigation?// The people that will benefit from my volunteering are Senora Kent's Spanish 1 class, and Stephanie.

//Potential sources: list and describe three potential reliable sources for information about your topic. Discuss the validity of these sources and the information you will learn from each source.// Mr. Weidner (Psych teacher), Mrs. Lori Kulikowski (ELL teacher), Senora Kent (Spanish teacher)

Nice start, Kelsey! I am excited to hear about the progress that your student makes!
