Senior+Project

Aleisha Lippincott Senior Project

It is senior year and it’s time to start reflection. For my project I chose three assignments which fit into the 21st Century Skills for Success of Papillion-LaVista School District. The three projects I chose were my psychology book, Schizophrenia power point, and the iMovie song project. Among these three accomplishments throughout high school I can tie in many skills for success
 * Knowledgeable Individuals- Through my “Me Book” I’ve shown that I understand the content necessary to be successful in a variety of endeavors. By showing my up-bringing, religion, and other contents of my character I am able to recognize knowledge and skill requirements necessary to transition to the next stage of my life.
 * · Information Processors- Through my Schizophrenia power point I’ve shown that I can access and analyze information from a variety of sources for different purposes. I used a variety of of information gathering techniques and information resources to put together an informational project raising awareness of this mental disorder.
 * · Effective Communicators- Through my iMovie I was able to apply and convey my thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a socially appropriate way to my audience. By doing a project on a social problem, I had to communicate issues of all sorts to my socially diverse class.
 * · Critical Thinkers and Problem Solvers- Through my Psychology book I have shown that I can assess situations, gather important information and develop relevant, effective alternatives to reach solutions or decisions. With my “Me Book” I had to dig into my life since I was born and ran into many issues along the way. I still had to convey what needed to be done in an appropriate way
 * · Self- Directed Learners- Through my “Me Book” I took initiative to actively and independently inquire and apply learning to a new and different situation. I developed habits, such as actually taking time at home to finish a project that will enable me to learn independently in the future.
 * · Collaborative Individuals- Through my iMovie project I was able to show that I respect individual differences and multiple perspectives on issues. I showed this in my iMovie since it was all about social issues and differences in society.
 * · Active, Responsible Citizens- Through my iMovie project I showed I am well-informed and apply knowledge and skills to improve the quality of their lives and communities. I presented based on the understanding that I live in a global market place and that cultural diversity and international interdependence are part of the basics of today’s society and economy.
 * · Quality Producers- Through my “Me Book” I was able to show that I can create products and performances that reflect high standards. I accepted the criteria needed for my project and the time necessary, and was able to exceed those criteria.
 * · Personally and Professionally Responsible Individuals- Through my “Me Book” I showed that I took responsibility for my own physical, intellectual, emotional, and social well-being. The whole point of this psychology book was to show my life and how I am the way that I am. I show in this project that I demonstrate high standards both personally and professionally through honesty, fairness, and personal initiative.
 * · Individual Leaders- Through my iMovie I was able to show that I have a strong sense of vision, passion, and am able to inspire commitment. Through much research I was able to show the different views of society, taking necessary action to see that vision become a reality.
