Hi, Student X!
Welcome to Generation www.Y, and thanks for submitting your project
proposal. I hope you are enjoying your time in class, and that you
find that your project benefits you, Mr. Beck, and the students
in his class.
I think you have chosen a unique project idea! I have a few suggestions
which I hope you will find helpful. Some are concerning your technical
writing, and others pertain to the broader scope of your project.
Remember, whether or not you take any particular action based on
what I suggest is entirely up to you and Mr. Beck.
First, your title is very creative! You might want to include some
more information about your project, however, by using a subtitle.
For example: "Strike a Pose: Digital Camera Use in the Classroom".
Your objectives are well done! They are clear and complete! Be
sure that you remember to always capitalize the word "Internet".
Your materials section is off to a good start! Under "Other",
be sure to include things like the scavenger hunt and assessment
survey checklist. Also, since students will be using the Internet,
you'll need an Internet connection and the Internet browser software
(like Netscape or Explorer) on your list, too.
In your procedures section, I LOVE your ideas for integrating
digital camera use! The scavenger hunt and story starter ideas are
wonderful! It sounds very organized! My only suggestion is that
you include a step at the end about assessing your project.
Your first two assessments are right on target! In the third assessment
(for your partner teacher), think about how you will assess HIS
learning. How will you measure whether or not he can use a digital
camera and photo-finishing software in future projects with efficiency?
I think this is a challenging project idea, Sara! You must be
an EXPERT on digital camera use! I am sure Mr. Beck will greatly
appreciate all the hours of hard work you are putting into this
project, which he will be able to use over and over again for years
to come! Best of luck with your finished project!
- Mrs. Barrett
