Dear Senior Committee:

I have many interests -- art, beauty, law, peace and love etc. But for this project I will be focusing on art. I will be building a few bookshelves and painting them and donating it to Muir and other schools.

I will learn how to build bookshelves and paint them, which I love doing. My mentor will be Vivian Cervantes, a previous student from Muir who is very artistic. My audience will be the whole school and also any other school that I decide to donate one to.

The research I will do is mostly going to be about how to build a book shelves because I have never built one before. The standard I will be using I think will be a lot of math, mostly geometry. This will help me put my geometry to work and learning to have a good work ethic and it will also give me the satisfaction of helping other school. My future audience will be the future students at the school.

Sincerely,

Marilyn Castañeda

Anne: Your research might be on vocational education in schools, craftsmanship, or kinds of wood used in various projects (and sustainability).

Mr Loessel: I agree with Anne re: vocational education as a theme and the various other elements. This project has the potential of being very informative/instructive. You will also add the element of final product and the steps you took to assemble, build and complete. I wish you well. I took this __//picture//__ in the ** library ﻿. **
