I finally made a decision in what i want to do my graduation project. I'm going to design my own Green House and make a model of it. And for the background research part of the project i am going to research the history of all the different ways to conserve energy.
In Class today we did the second part to the Interest Inventory where we answered question about things that we liked and wanted. Then we posted a comment on Mrs. Fossum's blog of ten topic ideas to try and help other people out that are trying to come up with there topic.

First Blog 4/27/07
I set up my blog today to keep track of my progress of my graduation project. I have a few ideas of what my project is going to be about but I'm not entirely sure about it yet.
-What have you heard about the graduation project at City High? Do you know any students in 12th grade or who have already graduated that completed their projects? What were their experiences?
I haven't heard much but the things that I have heard and seen tells me it is going to be a lot of work.
-What are some interests you have that you think you might like to structure a project around? List at least three options for your project.
One idea that I have had to to construct plans to make my own green house (energy saving house) and make a model of my plans. I could do my background research on the different ways to save energy in a house. I really have not come up with any other ideas except i might want to do a project that has something to do with World War II, because that is a topic that really interests me.
-What are some of the concerns that you have about the graduation project?
I really don't have any big concerns just to find a topic right now that I would not mind researching for the next several months.
