Dear Senior Committee:

John Muir School has been around for 37 years. I am very interested in the history of Muir. I want show students and teachers how John Muir used to be. I will be able to see the differences in the school past and today. I won’t only be the one who sees this; the whole school will also. I plan to make a photo collage from way back in the past to the present. It’s going to show the history of Muir. It will show the different locations of the school.

I will explore the schools background since it was first established to the present. The materials that I am going to use are some frames. I will read books about how to make a great collage. As of right now, I don’t know who my mentor will be.

My project will take at least twenty hours, but I’m going to take more time to make it perfect. I am devoted to fulfill my workload expected of me. I will create a photo collage that will be placed in the front office so that people that visit can see how Muir was back then and how it looks now a days.

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

Sincerely,

__Kimberly Reyes __

Anne: This would be a great service to the Muir community. Your research paper could be saved in the library.

Nancy J:... suggest that you post your paper on the web as well as putting up the collage.

Mr Loessel: Good idea, however, I believe you'll spend more then 24 hours unless you're referring to the total amount of time over a period of days/weeks. Anyway I suggest you consider a theme then develop an outline showing the various components. Regarding a mentor maybe teachers who've been teaching at John Muir for a few decades. You could interview them with topic being 'Then and Now'.
