2. I have no questions regarding any of the senior presentations I saw. I have to say that they were actually really good. The only question I have is what are the types of components that comprise the senior project as a whole? I know that the 2 hour presentation is a major component, but what are the rest?
3. Based on what I observed from the senior presentations, the most important part of the senior project is that you truly know your topic in depth and that you have a passion for it. Having a good essential question and having an interesting topic is important, but if you don't love your topic doing an entire 9 -month project on it will be incredibly difficult. You need to have a very thorough understanding of your topic and be willing to learn more about it. Also, even if you have a not so interesting topic, if you have a passion for it, even your audience will be involved and actually find it interesting.
4. For my senior project topic, I am planning on doing it on karate. I have been in karate for roughly 10 years and I have a great deal of experience in teaching, competing, and actually doing karate. I already spoke to my sensei and he has agreed to be my mentor. If that doesn't work or if I need some one else for an interview, I have a few other people who I could ask. Although I'm not sure of what my essential question will be I'm mainly going to focus on teaching karate.
