Dear Senior Committee:

Cultural differences around the world interest me—responses to unemployment in different countries, the differences in how they speak, and how they do things. I would like to understand how people look at the world in other countries. What I would learn is how people in different countries is compare to those in the USA.

What I would explore would be a different country, a different environment, a different culture. I would research economic and social problems and compare them to ours. At this moment I don’t have a mentor but I will-- someone from that country.

What I will do for my project is travel to Spain for a week in April, interview people and ask them what they think the problems and strengths are in their country. I will go to a University and compare our education to theirs. When I return with all that I have learned, I will present a KQ to the student body of Muir. I should be completed with my project by the middle of May.

I understand that plagiarism means failing the project. I plan to do original work and cite all sources used.

Sincerely,

Jasmine Valencia

Dear Senior Advisory Committee:

Cyber bullying is a growing problem that’s affecting teens around the country. Around 10 percent of teens grades 7 through 9 are victims of internet cyber bulling. I would like to understand why it has become so common.

What I would research would be different cases of cyber bullying. And consequences of cyber bullying. And how teens being victims cope with it. Materials that I would use would be articles, books on law and perhaps interviews with some local victims of cyberbullying. I am currently looking for a mentor.

My senior project will be a Knowledge Quest. I would talk to the teens of Muir, grades 7 through 9 about the importance of putting a stop to cyber bullying. I will also post it on Cyber Fair. My audience will be the teens of John Muir. My senior project will benefit the community by opening the eyes of individuals and letting them know that it is an enormous problem. I will complete my work by beginning of May.

I understand that plagiarism means failing the project. I plan to do original work and cite all sources used.

Sincerely,

Jasmine Valencia

// ﻿Thanks for posting a backup plan in case the trip does not materialize. Both subjects are outstanding in my eyes! //

Mr Loessel: Good project concept. Consider contacting the San Diego Police Community Relations Dept and see what material they have. There may be an outreach program they can refer you too. And talking to the 7th - 9th graders is a great idea. I recommend you talk them Yone-on-one regarding there experiences with cyber bullying. Another suggestion is to talk/interview the Principal and get her thoughts and possible experiences in dealing with cyber bullying. You've got alot of work ahead but the results promise to be very informative and insightful.

Anne: Sounds fine. Let's look for a great thesis...
